  • Publication number: 20150363572
    Abstract: A method and system for providing emergency medical counselling to a rescuer is disclosed. The method comprises transmitting a first data set comprising first temporal data, first positional data and first medical data from a first position to a central server and transmitting a second data set comprising second temporal data, second positional data and medical data from a second position to the central server (150). The central server (150) matches (380) in the first temporal data (32a) and the first positional data (34a) with the second temporal data (32b) and the second positional data (34b) to associate the first set of data (30a) with the second set of data (30b) to thereby obtain a medical history dataset (195) comprising at least the first medical data (36a) and the second medical data (36b).

  • Patent number: 8939922
    Abstract: A system and a method is disclosed for monitoring parameters during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including a compression measuring means, a ventilation measuring means and a processing means. If at least one of the measured values deviate from a respective reference range, the processing means provides an indication of the deviation. If more than one of the measured values deviate from a respective reference range, the deviations are prioritized with an indication being provided first to the deviation having a higher priority. The invention also regards a device for positioning on a patient's chest during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which measures compression and which comprises a feedback module for providing a tactile output related to the measurements.

  • Patent number: 8394040
    Abstract: A system for processing chest compression signals is disclosed including a processing unit, a depth signal device, and a threshold device comprising upper and lower thresholds. The system may also include a force signal device. The processing unit is adapted to output a signal depending on values of depth and force signals with respect to the thresholds.

  • Publication number: 20080146973
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for providing feedback regarding chest compressions in CPR comprises a measuring unit, a processing unit and a display unit, where the measuring unit comprises a depth measuring device, a force measuring device, or both. The processing unit comprises a depth signal device and/or a force signal device and a threshold device. The processing unit is structured to output a signal depending on the values of depth and/or force signals with respect to the thresholds. The display unit comprises at least one indicator and is structured to activate the indicators based on the output from the processing device. The system thus measures and processes chest compressions and provide feedback to the user with respect to the characteristics of the compressions.
