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. A paramedical device connected to paramedical equipment, comprising;

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

an anomaly detection circuit operable to detect an anomaly of cardiac rhythm of a victim that includes a comparison circuit that determines the anomaly of the cardiac rhythm from a comparison of the cardiac rhythm to preprogrammed data that includes a previous cardiac rhythm data of the victim, average populous data, and average data of a specific demographic; and

an output unit for outputting information of a location of the victim and the location of the paramedical equipment on a video display, wherein the location of the victim and the location of the paramedical equipment are displayed on a map on the video display.

2. The paramedical device as recited in claim 1, further comprising an alarm unit for generating an alarm.

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

monitoring a cardiac rhythm;

detecting an anomaly based on the monitored cardiac rhythm;

comparing the cardiac rhythm to preprogrammed data that includes a previous cardiac rhythm data of a user, average populous data, and average data of a specific demographic;

identifying a location of paramedical equipment upon detection of the anomaly; and

displaying the location of the paramedical equipment on a map through a video display or monitor.

4. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein identifying the location of the paramedical equipment comprises transmitting a request for location information of the paramedical equipment.

5. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein identifying the location of the paramedical equipment comprises receiving location information from the paramedical equipment.

6. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein identifying the location of the paramedical equipment comprises receiving location information from a server.

7. The method as recited in claim 3, further comprising generating an alarm in response to detecting the anomaly.

8. 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, compare the cardiac rhythm to preprogrammed data including a previous cardiac rhythm data of a user, average populous data, and average data of a specific demographic, send and/or receive location information of system devices, determine distances between system devices, communicate system device location information, and display the location information on a map using a video display or monitor.
