Abstract

The present disclosure relates to devices, implementations and techniques for health monitoring. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to cardiac arrest monitoring devices.

Claims

1-9. -9. (canceled)

10. A paramedical device connected to paramedical equipment, comprising;

a location module for providing location information of the paramedical equipment to a cardiac monitoring device; and

an output unit for outputting information of a location of a victim.

11. A paramedical device as recited in claim 10, further comprising an alarm unit for generating an alarm.

12. A mobile terminal comprising;

a paramedical equipment locator for identifying the location of at least one paramedical equipment; and

an output unit for outputting the location information of the paramedical equipment.

13. A method for monitoring a cardiac arrest, comprising:

monitoring a cardiac rhythm;

detecting an anomaly based on the monitored cardiac rhythm; and

identifying the location of at least one paramedical equipment upon detection of the anomaly.

14. A method as recited in claim 13, wherein identifying the location of at least one paramedical equipment comprises transmitting a request of the location information of the paramedical equipment.

15. A method as recited in claim 13, wherein identifying the location of at least one paramedical equipment comprises receiving location information from the paramedical device.

16. A method as recited in claim 13, wherein identifying the location of at least one paramedical equipment comprises receiving location information from a server.

17. A method as recited in claim 13, wherein detecting an anomaly based on the monitored cardiac rhythm comprises comparing the monitored cardiac rhythm with preprogrammed data.

18. A method as recited in Claim 17, wherein comparing the monitored cardiac rhythm data with preprogrammed data comprises comparing the monitored cardiac rhythm with previous cardiac rhythm data of a user being monitored.

19. A method as recited in claim 13, further comprising generating an alarm in response to detecting the anomaly.

20. An article comprising:

a signal bearing medium comprising machine-readable instructions stored thereon, which, if executed by one or more processors, operatively enable a computing device to analyze cardiac rhythm, send and/or receive location information of system devices, determining distances between system devices, and/or communicating system device location information.
