Cameras for emergency rescue
First Claim
1. A system for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance, the system comprising:
- at least one camera configured to be mounted to and supported by a person in need of emergency assistance, the at least one camera comprising a camera having a 360 degree field of view positioned to obtain images of at least one rescuer performing at least one resuscitation activity for the person in need of emergency assistance;
an image processing device configured to receive images captured by the at least one camera and to process the images to generate a representation of a rescue scene surrounding the person; and
an analysis device configured to determine a characteristic associated with the at least one resuscitation activity based on analysis of the representation of the rescue scene generated by the image processing device, the analysis comprising;
identification of at least one object in the representation of the rescue scene based on one or more of shape, color, size, or location of the at least one object in the generated representation of the rescue scene; and
tracking movement of the at least one identified object in the representation of the rescue scene.

Abstract
A system for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance is provided. The system includes at least one camera configured to be mounted to a person in need of medical assistance. The system also includes an image processing device, which can be configured to receive images captured by the at least one camera and to process the images to generate a representation of a rescue scene surrounding the person. The system further includes an analysis device. The analysis device can be configured to determine a characteristic associated with a resuscitation activity based on analysis of the representation of the rescue scene generated by the image processing device. A computer-implemented method for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance is also provided.

21. A computer-implemented method for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance, the method comprising:
-
mounting at least one camera to a person in need of emergency assistance, so that the at least one camera is supported by the person in need of emergency assistance, the at least one camera comprising a camera having a 360 degree field of view positioned to obtain images of at least one rescuer performing at least one resuscitation activity for the person in need of emergency assistance; capturing images of a rescue scene with the at least one camera; performing automatic computer-based analysis of the captured images to generate a representation of the rescue scene; identifying at least one object in the representation of the rescue scene based on one or more of shape, color, size, or location of the at least one object in the representation of the rescue scene; tracking movement of the at least one identified object in the representation of the rescue scene; and determining a characteristic associated with a resuscitation activity based on the movement of the identified object in the generated representation of the rescue scene. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A system for managing treatment of a person in need of emergency assistance, the system comprising:
-
at least one camera configured to be mounted to and supported by a person in need of emergency assistance, the at least one camera comprising a camera having a 360 degree field of view positioned to obtain images of at least one rescuer performing at least one resuscitation activity for the person in need of emergency assistance; an image processing device configured to receive images captured by the at least one camera and to process the images to generate a representation of a rescue scene surrounding the person; and an analysis device configured to; identify at least one hand of the at least one rescuer in the generated representation of the rescue scene, track movement of the at least one hand in the representation of the rescue scene and determine at least one of chest compression rate or chest compression depth based on the tracked movement of the at least one hand. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
