Abstract

A life sign detection and real-time reporting module is provided, including a housing case installed with a life sign detector, and a signal processing circuit connected to the life sign detector to receive signals and stores the signals in a memory. The signal processing circuit includes a personal data memory for storing personal data of the user, a personal medical record memory, and a medical facility database. A data transmission interface is connected to the signal processing circuit, and a wireless communication module is connected to the data transmission interface for transmitting the data and the signals to a remote base. The data transmission interface can be further connected to a global positioning system (GPS) module for receiving GPS signals from a satellite, including the current location information, such as longitude, latitude, and altitude.
