Description:BACKGROUND
[001] Field of the invention
[002] Embodiments of the present invention broadly pertain to a system and method for monitoring a gas concentration, and more specifically to a system and method for measuring the oxygen content of an ambulance's oxygen cylinder via cloud.
[003] Description of Related Art
[004] In simple terms, an ambulance is a medically equipped vehicle which transport patients to treatment facilities, such as hospitals. The ambulance equipped with the latest medical equipment such as an automatic external defibrillator, blood pressure monitoring equipment, pulse oximetry and oxygen delivery services. The basic need of a patient in emergency situation is the oxygen so, regular monitoring of oxygen present in the oxygen cylinder is equally necessary. But it is observed that monitoring of the oxygen available in the cylinder is not continuous before picking the ambulance which may affect the life of the patient.
[005] Initially, the oxygen in the cylinders is monitored by measuring the pressure at the outlet of the cylinder. Firstly, this process done manually by the hospital department which is time consuming process. Also, it required lots of user’s effort. And the user measures the oxygen level of one cylinder at a time. Then, pressure sensors are developed that reduces the user’s effort and time, but it provides low accuracy output. Also, there is no provision for notify the user during low oxygen level. So, there exist a need in the art to develop a device or system that is capable of monitoring oxygen in the large number of oxygen cylinders at the same time.
[006] US9747569B2 discloses about a fluid tank in a hospital or similar environment include sensors to detect, e.g., state and location, which can be communicated to a central station where this data can be processed to permit predictions of resource usage and enable automated management of the fluid tanks.
[007] As per discussed prior arts, the inventions are focused on the devices or system that monitor the oxygen in the cylinder by measuring pressure at outlets of the cylinder. Also, there is no provision for monitoring oxygen in the multiple cylinders at the same time. And there is no alert system for notify the user during low oxygen concentration.
[008] There is thus a need for a system and method for monitoring the oxygen content of the ambulance a more efficient manner.

determining, a concentration of the oxygen inside the oxygen cylinder (200) of the ambulance (202) based on the received sensed signal through a predefined formula;
comparing, the determined concentration of the oxygen with a predefined threshold concentration stored in a memory (128);
generating, an alert signal when the determined concentration of the oxygen is less than or equal to predefined threshold concentration.
7. The method (400) as claimed in claim 6, comprising the step of generation of the alert signal when the determined concentration of the oxygen is less than or equal to predefined threshold concentration, may generate a notification that may be transmitted to the user device (106) of a driver of the ambulance, an admin, a nearby hospital, or a combination thereof.
8. The method (400) as claimed in claim 6, comprising the step of generation of the alert signal when the determined concentration of the oxygen is less than or equal to predefined threshold concentration, may enable the speakers 124() to generate a warning tone.
