TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates generally to the field of healthcare management. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to system and method for providing emergency medical services using medical emergency response vehicle (MERV).

BACKGROUND

The background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] The healthcare system is in crisis due to challenges including lack of quality
healthcare, escalating costs, high dimension population, mi scommuni cation with mismanagement of health services and lack of health resources, healthcare centers, and specialized doctors. Emergency medical service is one of the most important issues faced by both the accidental patients and health centers in saving human lives.
[0004] Mitigating this crisis will require a major transformation of healthcare to be
proactive, preventive, patient-centred, and service based with a focus on improving quality-of-life. The miscommunication and mismanagement between the patient and health centers would result in loss of human lives. Further, due to absence of better infrastructure such as road and transportation means leads to time delay in providing required lifesaving medical services. The delay in delivering lifesaving can cause fatal medical conditions and demise of the patient in certain cases.
[0005] The traditional techniques for requesting emergency medical services require
the user to call the medical emergency hotline or hospital for requesting the required medical services. However, generally there might be a delay in response time for providing/delivering emergency medical services. Since, in certain cases a slight delay in receiving medical service can be very fatal and can cause fatal injuries, a permanent disability and can cause demise in certain cases. Therefore, during medical emergency it is very important to reduce the time for delivering/providing medical services to the patient.
[0006] There is therefore a need in the art to provide system and method for providing
emergency medical services using medical emergency response vehicle (MERV) that are robust, accurate, fast, time efficient, cost effective and simple to implement.

hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to implement one or more functionalities of the processing engine(s) 208. 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 system 102 and the processing resource. In other examples, the processing
engine(s) 208 may be implemented by electronic circuitry.
[00075] The data 210 may comprise data that is either stored or generated as a result of
functionalities implemented by any of the components of the processing engine(s) 208 or the
system 102.
[00076] In an exemplary embodiment, the processing engine(s) 208 may include an
emergency signal receive engine 212, an emergency signal transmit engine 214, an MERV
selecting engine 216, a payment remittance engine 218 and other engine(s).
[00077] In an embodiment, the emergency signal receive engine 212 can be configured
to receive one or more emergency signals from the first computing device associated with the
first user 108. Further, the one or more emergency signals can include information relating to
the medical emergency, current physical location of the first computing device 106 such that
an appropriate action could be taken. The location of the first computing device 106 can be
used as the location where the medical emergency assistance is required
[00078] For example, in case of medical emergency such as heart attack, seizure etc.
where immediate medical assistance is requires. The user can access his/her mobile phone to
access system and in turn an emergency signal can be initiated from users' mobile phone and
received at the emergency signal receive engine 212.
[00079] In an embodiment, the emergency signal transmit engine 214 can be
configured to transmit the received one or more emergency signals to one or more MERVs
110 that are located in the predefined proximal distance from the received/determined
physical location of the first user 108.
[00080] In an embodiment, the MERVs 110 can be deployed at various locations
within a predefined area. Further, the MERVs 110 can also be travelling from one position to
another. In an embodiment, a first database that is accessible by the first user via the network
104, the database including information pertaining to MERVs 110. The information can
include a vehicle registration number, a contact number and a set of services of the one or
more services associated with the one or more MERVs 110. It would be appreciated that the
database can be present on a cloud/ server 112.
[00081] For example, in case of requirement of medical emergency the user initiates
the emergency signal and the emergency signal is routed to all the available MERVs 110 that
are located close to the first user 108.
[00082] In an embodiment, the MERV selecting engine 216 can be used for selecting
an MERV from the plurality of MERVs 110 that have received emergency signal initiated by

the first user 108. Each of the plurality of MERVs 110 can be checked if they are available.
In case, any of the plurality of MERV is already acknowledging another medical emergency
request then it can be considered that the MERV is not available. Further, in case if the
MERV is not able to acknowledge the medical emergency in such a case the particular
MERV can be considered as not available. Noe, the MERVs 110 that can acknowledge
medical emergency and also lie within the predefined proximity distance from the first user
108 then the MERV selecting engine 216 can check for distance of each of the available
MERV from the first user 108 location.
[00083] Now, based on the determined distance of each of the available MERVs 110
the MERV that is closest to the first user will be selected such that the selected MERV will
be deployed to the location of the user. The location of the first user can be shared with the
selected MERV such that the selected MERV can reach destination timely without any delay
so that the medical emergency procedures can be initiated.
[00084] In an embodiment, the payment remittance engine 218 can be configured for
remittance of payments for services offered.
[00085] In an embodiment, the MERVs 110 are capable of providing various medical
services to the patient and further the MERVs 110 can be used as a vehicle that can be used
for transporting the patient to the nearest medical facility. Medical facility can include but not
limited to Hospital, Clinic, Super speciality hospitality and medical college where the patient
can be offered medical services.
[00086] In an embodiment, the system 102 can generate a complete signal when the
one or more medical emergency services are no longer required by the first user 108, and
wherein based on the generated complete signal remittance of payment is processed from the
first user. In an embodiment, the payment remittance engine 218 can offer a user an option to
make a payment using various payment methods such as a debit card, a credit card, a net
banking option, a payment via wallet and the like.
