Parametric Assessment of Communication Protocol for Evaluating the Efficacy of Real-Time Healthcare Data Transmission System

Pre-hospital care refers to the medical attention and treatment provided to patients at the scene of an emergency or accident before they are transported to a medical facility or hospital. This care is typically administered by trained emergency medical technicians (EMTs) or paramedics who assess the patient’s condition, provide necessary interventions, and stabilize them for safe transportation to a medical facility for further treatment. Pre-hospital care aims to rapidly address medical emergencies and ensure the best possible outcome for patients before they reach a hospital setting. In response to this challenge, the incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been investigated for enhancing pre-hospital care. This study centers on assessing two communication protocols within emergency medical services to ascertain the optimal method. Two experiments, sharing identical concepts, are conducted to analyze data from MAX30100 sensors through diverse communication protocols. The primary aim is to pinpoint the ideal protocol for a prototype device, enabling real-time collaboration between paramedics and physicians. This technological advancement accelerates patient data exchange, facilitating more effective treatment discussions and ultimately elevating the quality of patient care. The real-time data transmission of the system also facilitates the prompt preparation of essential equipment and medications by the emergency department, thereby enhancing patient outcomes through optimized care. In summary, this innovative IoT-driven strategy has the potential to substantially elevate emergency healthcare services, fostering seamless data exchange and continuous patient monitoring in real time, thereby leading to enhanced patient care within hospital settings.
