Abstract
-- Realtime transmission of medical information is
important for decision making and coordination in disasters. In
order to ensure successful communication of medical information,
and efficient allocation of resources, in adequate time, place and
amount, it is necessary to establish an interface between various
communication devices and the database of emergency medical resources.
The personnel could be equipped with any available mobile devices
such as PDA, analog wireless systems, etc, to report the status
of disasters. The first year of this project, we focus on the study
of connectivity between communications devices and database interfaces.
We have finished designing the WEB and WAP interface to collect
disaster data. In second year, we add the PDA interface to the web
site to make it more powerful. On the other hand, we begin to investigate
the application of wireless communication devices such as radio
modems. In the disasters, the power and public communication facilities
may be damaged, we indeed require the wireless devices to communicate
to the emergency sites.
