Abstract

A health monitoring and warning system includes a cloud computing unit, a vehicle scheduling unit and a vehicle with a warning unit. An operator of the vehicle wears a healthcare monitoring device for measuring the physical condition thereof. The cloud computing unit monitors the physical condition of the operator and judges the physical condition is normal or not based on the data measured by the health monitoring chip. When the cloud computing unit judges the physical condition is abnormal, it transmits a warning signal to the vehicle scheduling unit and transmits a start signal to activate the warning unit, thereby warning the operator, passengers and people adjacent to the vehicle.

Claims

1. A health monitoring and warning system, comprising:

a cloud computing unit;

at least one vehicle scheduling unit wirelessly communicating with the cloud computing unit;

at least one vehicle wirelessly communicating with the vehicle scheduling unit; and

at least one warning unit disposed on the vehicle and wirelessly communicating with the cloud computing unit,

wherein, an operator of the vehicle wears a healthcare monitoring device for measuring the physical condition thereof, and the cloud computing unit wirelessly communicates with the healthcare monitoring device to monitor the physical condition of the operator and judges the physical condition normal or not according to the data measured by the health monitoring chip, and when the cloud computing unit judges the physical condition is abnormal, the cloud computing unit transmits a warning signal to the vehicle scheduling unit, and transmits a start signal to the warning unit, thereby activating the warning unit.

2. The health monitoring and warning system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the healthcare monitoring device measures an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) of the vehicle operator.

3. The health monitoring and warning system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the healthcare monitoring device has an antenna to wirelessly communicate with a positioning unit or a wireless unit installed on the vehicle, and the data measured by the healthcare monitoring device is transmitted to the cloud computing unit through the positioning unit or the wireless unit.

4. The health monitoring and warning system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vehicle is one of a truck, a bus, a crane, an excavator, a bulldozer, and a lift truck.

5. The health monitoring and warning system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the wireless unit is one of a cell phone, a GPS system, a pad computer, and a notebook computer.

6. The health monitoring and warning system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the warning unit is selected from a group consisting of a warning light, an alarm, and a buzzer.

7. The health monitoring and warning system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cloud computing unit and/or the vehicle scheduling unit are/is further wirelessly communicated with a medical care facility and/or a traffic safety facility, and the cloud computing unit and/or the vehicle scheduling unit transmits a help-seeking signal to the medical care facility and/or the traffic safety facility when the cloud computing unit judges the physical condition of the operator is abnormal.
