An android based ambulatory service response system for patients with emergency heart attacks.

Abstract

Heart attack is a major killer disease in Uganda. Due to poor means of reporting of these heart attacks and delayed movement of victims to hospital for urgent medical attention. An Android based Ambulatory service response-system for Patients with Emergency heart attacks assists in solving this problem. The project is aimed at availing a well-established platform for providing ambulatory services to heart attack victims to enhance their survival with reduced delays. An ambulance was considered due to the fact that it comes with medical paramedics that give first aid and contain emergencies as the patient is taken to the hospital. The system uses GPS technologies to provide exact location of victim that enables direction and tracking of the patient. It reports a heart immediately and allows quick response. This increases patient’s chance of survival. The patient is monitored remotely via a mobile phone hence reducing on problem of having to be in patient's vicinity.
