摘要

本研究結合生理訊號感測器(Sensor device)、網路攝影機(Webcam)、2.4 GHz ISM Band RF Module、ZigBee、GPS、Google Map，以及WiMAX行動網路等技術實作一套基於即時路況資訊之緊急救護系統。病人送至救護車後，醫護人員可使用無線生理感測裝置量測病患的心電圖、體溫、血氧濃度，以及脈搏等生理資訊，這些資訊可透過ZigBee及無線模組分別傳送至救護車內應用閘道器(Application Gateway)，再透過WiMAX行動網路將病患的心電圖、體溫、血氧濃度、脈搏、以及病患的即時視訊等資訊傳輸至醫院端，以利醫院端醫師及早準備急救事宜。另外，我們以WebGIS的架構整合Google Maps及GPS，開發一套路徑導引子系統以輔助救護車避開壅塞路段，儘速將病患送達醫院救治。實驗結果顯示，本系統在高速下能夠提供穩定的網路服務品質，並有效爭取救援時間，因而大幅提升緊急救護之服務品質。

This study develops an emergency medical service (EMS) system by employing sensor devices, Webcam, 2.4 GHz ISM band RF Module, ZigBee, GPS, Google Maps, and WiMAX mobile network. In the ambulance, patient’s biosignals consisting of electrocardiogram (ECG), temperature, oxygen, and pulse can be wirelessly transmitted to the in-car gateway. Then, together with patient’s real-time video, those biosignals are transmitted via WiMAX mobile network to the server located in the hospital emergency room for immediate first-aid preparation. Furthermore, to avoid jam-packed areas, a traffic guiding subsystem is presented based on the WebGIS that consists of Google Maps and GPS to help patient be delivered to the hospital with shortest time. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed EMS system in lengthening the golden rescue time; thus significantly enhancing service quality of emergency medical system.
