  1. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ECE 415/ECE 416 SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT 2009 College of Engineering - University of Massachusetts Amherst Medical Emergency Communication Assistant Cali Antonellis, Austin Cormier, Michael Cormier, David Hughes Faculty Advisor: Prof. Wayne Burleson Background Most ambulances carry radio equipment to communicate to a 911 dispatch system and hospital emergency room. This solution works to bring the patient to the hospital, but there can be value in providing emergency room workers with an insight into the exact condition and location of the patient. M.E.C.A. aims to provide this information by opening a streaming audio and video connection between hospital and ambulance. Along with real-time video, hospital staff will receive patient vitals and ambulance location from the Project Description The ambulance computer boots up upon ignition and immediately center, the teleconferencing software answers the call establishes a 3G connection through which the ambulance location is transmitted to the hospital. When a call comes through from the control automatically and begins transmitting audio and video. A speaker inside the ambulance will allow the EMTs to receive help and instructions from doctors at the hospital. Graphical User Interface ambulance. The emergency room will be able to use this information to provide assistance to EMTs in critical situations and to better prepare for a patient’s arrival. • Design Challenges • Designing user friendly GUI • Establish communication link between ambulance and hospital • Streaming audio and video over 3G cellular network • managing GPS coordinates and patient vitals • Embedding Google Maps and video window into GUI • Choosing and installing ambulance carputer M.E.C.A. Software Flow Diagram M.E.C.A. Block Diagram • Demo Setup • Ambulance script run on carputer in moving car • sends data over 3G cellular network • Additional Ambulance script run on laptop to simulate second ambulance • Base station GUI run on laptop • Ambulance locations plotted on Google Maps • Patient vitals and streaming video shown in GUI • Show estimated time of arrival From left to right: Austin Cormier, Cali Antonellis, Professor Burleson, Michael Cormier, David Hughes Acknowledgements: This project has been funded by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
