Live-Feedback Supported Collaborative Environment for Emergency Scenarios

Published:28 February 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

Knowing the up-to-date information about the emergency environment and collaboration between the central Health Service Center (HSC) and the mobile rescue team can be very useful in properly executing the rescue operations, especially in the case of elderly patients. In this paper, we present our live-feedback supported collaborative environment that consists of: autonomous mobile robot on elderly patient's home for knowing up-to-date information about the emergency place, a central communicating system at HSC to manage the overall rescue operation, and a mobile platform that enables the rescue team to collaborate with HSC and the robot at the emergency place in order to know accurately the current emergency situation. This whole setup enables the rescue team to perform the rescue operation more efficiently and effectively.
