DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, various specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent, however, that embodiments of the present disclosure may be practiced without these specific details. Several features described hereafter can each be used independently of one another or with any combination of other features. An individual feature may not address all of the problems discussed above or might address only some of the problems discussed above. Some of the problems discussed above might not be fully addressed by any of the features described herein.
[0037] The present disclosure describes a system and method for a smart ambulance system that incorporates Internet of Things (IoT) technology based Long Range (LoRa) communication, Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Near Field Communication (NFC), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This smart ambulance system monitors and optimises communication between ambulances and hospitals, allowing for more effective medical responses.
[0038] Various embodiments of the present disclosure will be explained in detail with reference to FIGs. 1-4.
[0039] FIG. 1 illustrates an example schematic diagram (100) of the proposed system (102), in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0040] As illustrated in FIG. 1, in an embodiment, the system (102) provides patient monitoring via sensors and communication modules that form a network system during patient transfer. A person skilled in the art may understand the system (102) may also be referred as an emergency response system (102) throughout the disclosure. The system (102) may include an ambulance setup (104) that provides patient handover at the hospital (106) and allows preparation for treatment of the patient. The system (102) may use LoRa for primary communication and the GSM network for secondary communication. The system (102) may also provide data transmission (108). This may include primary communication via LoRa, back up communication via the GSM network, and traffic signal control. The ambulance setup (104) may include patient monitoring, obstacle detection, and emergency signalling. The system (102) may also provide a hospital setup (110) with data reception and monitoring, resource allocation, and remote guidance via GSM.
[0041] In an embodiment, the vehicle may include both LoRa-Tx (Transmitter) and LoRa-Rx (Receiver), where the system (102) may send the signal to clear the traffic and check for availability of beds in the hospital. The system (102) may also collect the data from the patient and send the data to the hospital to allocate the doctor/public health provider for the treatment. The doctor may respond to the emergency provider in the ambulance for the treatment to be given through a GSM module. The LoRa-Tx may start operating from to pick up until drop to the hospital and send (transmits) one or more signals to the upcoming all traffic signal to make the path free, where the traffic signal may include the LoRa-Rx, which may receive the one or more signals and make all 3-paths a RED and the path GREEN where the ambulance is heading without affecting any other commuters.
[0042] In an embodiment, every ambulance/vehicle may feature one or more sensors, such as but not limited to Echocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, temperature, and humidity, connected to a microcontroller that records and communicates the patient's parameters to the hospital using LoRa technology. LoRa is a low-power, long-range platform that ensures reliable data transmission in high-noise environments such as cities. Furthermore, the vehicle’s movement contains an ultrasonic sensor and a servo motor to identify static objects and adjust the path when the vehicle encounters traffic, increasing the vehicle’s reaction time and safety. A person skilled in the art may understand that the patient may be also referred as one or more subjects throughout the disclosure.
[0043] In an embodiment, the system (102) may receive the transmitted data from the one or more sensors and determine one or more parameters associated with the one or more subjects based on the transmitted data and monitors the one or more subjects based on the analyzed one or more parameters.
[0044] In an embodiment, the system (102) may transmit the analyzed one or more parameters to one or more health service centres using a spread spectrum technique. The spread spectrum technique may be a part of the LoRa technology.
[0045] In an embodiment, the system (102) may dynamically provide real-time navigation to the vehicle for transporting the one or more subjects to the one or more health service centres based on the analyzed one or more parameters within a predetermined period.
[0046] In an embodiment, to provide communication between paramedics/emergency provider and hospital staff/ public health providers, the system may use GSM network as an alternative channel for direct interaction when necessary. This allows paramedics to communicate with doctors and make treatment changes in real time. The GSM network may provide real-time communication between the vehicle and the one or more health service centres and further enable public health providers to assist with the monitoring of the one or more subjects.
[0047] In an embodiment, to dynamically provide the real-time navigation to the vehicle, the system (102) may determine one or more static objects during the real-time navigation of the vehicle and manuever the vehicle to avoid collision with the one or more static objects. The system (102) may receive data from an ultrasonic sensor configured with the vehicle to measure the distance between the vehicle and the one or more static objects and correspondingly manuever the vehicle using a servo motor configured with the vehicle to avoid collision.
[0048] In an embodiment, the system (102) may use a Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology, which allows the public health providers to identify the one or more subjects and provides information based on the analyzed one or more parameters for the admission of the one or more subjects at the one or more health service centres. The system (102) through the NFC technology may allow the public health providers to communicate with the emergency provider within the vehicle and allow necessary treatment to the one or more subjects based on the information. The system (102) may also be configured with RFID technology that allows the admission of the one or more subjects to a specific facility within the one or more health service centres. For example, in hospitals, RFID and NFC technologies may be used by the public health providers to admit patients and allocate beds. RFID tags may control bed occupancy and NFC devices may facilitate patient identification and management while also supplying with important information about incoming patients. The NFC technology may also collaborate with the traffic control system by using one or more colour sensors at traffic interconnect to establish a faster path for the ambulance, significantly improving response time.
[0049] In an embodiment, the system (102) through the LoRa/spread spectrum technology may communicate with one or more colour sensors positioned near traffic lights and configure the traffic lights to allow the vehicle to navigate to the one or more health service centres within the predetermined period.
[0050] In an embodiment, the seamless integration of these technologies results in the construction of a robust IoT-based emergency response system that improves pre-hospital management. The approach of establishing direct connections between ambulances, hospital databases, and doctors promotes quick decision making and effective resource management. The usage of the technology allows paramedics to identify concerns impacting a patient early on, while the hospital can mobilise relevant medical equipment and interventions before to the patient's arrival, improving emergency medical care.
[0051] Further, in an embodiment, testing of the system (102) revealed significant gains in patient monitoring, navigation efficiency, and hospital resource management. The real-time monitoring capacity enabled public health providers to continuously analyse patient conditions while in transportation, making appropriate preparations ahead of time. Vital data such as ECG, temperature, and heart rate supplied via LoRa enabled early detection of critical conditions, allowing paramedics to intervene quickly and improve patient outcomes. This smooth information flow resulted in a high level of preparation among medical teams, allowing them to quickly address emergencies when patients arrived. The navigation provided by the system (102) proved efficient in high-traffic situations, since the ultrasonic sensor and servo motor assisted ambulances in avoiding impediments and dynamically adapting their route. The system's traffic signal priority function enabled ambulances to proceed through intersections without wait, resulting in dramatically shorter response times. These navigational improvements were especially useful in densely populated areas, where traffic congestion frequently hinders emergency services, resulting in a faster and safer trip to the hospital.
[0052] Further, in an embodiment, through the usage of RFID and NFC technology the hospital was able to assign available resources especially the beds and admit patients faster. Finally, the GSM based communication allowed the doctors/public health providers consult with the paramedics/emergency provider by offering medical advice and making required medical decisions at the right time even in the absence of a specialist. These approaches resulted in integration, optimal use of resources, time and improvements in the patient care. The system (102) integrated Internet of Things (IoT) with a closed-loop mechanism and provided a real-time linked-data system for operational optimization.
[0053] In an embodiment, the system (102) with IoT achieves the goals of remote patient monitoring, smart navigation, and instant collaboration between ambulances and hospitals. Combining LoRa, GSM, NFC, and RFID improves the emergency services, minimising key limitations, particularly in locations with high traffic density. This testing indicates an increase in response time, patient outcomes, and resource utilisation, establishing the system (102) as a viable alternative.
[0054] In an embodiment, the system (102) also uses machine learning for predicting patient needs based on the supplied data and may use satellite connections to improve coverage in specific places. The system (102) or the IoT-based system (102) may provide emergency services with robust features that may significantly improve treatment efficiency and survival rates in critical conditions.

In examples described herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different ways. For example, the programming for the processing engine(s) (208) may be processor-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the hardware for the processing engine(s) (208) may comprise a processing resource (for example, one or more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the machine-readable storage medium may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement the processing engine(s) (208). In such examples, the system (102) may comprise the machine-readable storage medium storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the instructions, or the machine-readable storage medium may be separate but accessible to the system (102) and the processing resource.
