Abstract
Emergency happen in cities or out of cities, may be caused by car accident, fall or other reasons. However, it is strongly recommended to deal with the situation as soon as it is possible to reduce humane damages. Besides, it is highly preferable for the health care-giver to have enough information about the incident before he arrives at the patient. In the proposed scenario, first someone announces the accident, then healthcare-giver move by motorcycle to the place of the accident to diagnose the situation and to give primary help. The help giver may ask for transporting the patient to hospital by ambulance. In this scenario we are facing two main problems. The first one is the localization of the accident, the healthcare-giver, the ambulance, the hospital and other resources, the second one is the communication of information about the accident between different actors (healthcare-giver, medical team in the ambulance, and medical team in the hospital, etc.) To remedy this problem we propose the use of OUPnP (Outdoor UPnP for Services Discovery in Smart Cities) for discovering resources and WebRTC to enable communication between actors. WebRTC permits the communication between the accident announcer and the healthcare-givers with motorcycle to exchange information about the accident (video, image, voice). Once the healthcare-giver with a motorcycle arrives at the place of the accident, he starts giving help and setup medical devices for diagnosis the patient; he can ask for transporting of the patient to a hospital. Thus, he can share information about the accident with the ambulance team and the hospital team via WebRTC. Moreover, ambulance team and the hospital team can use WebRTC to access directly to medical devices to retrieve data in real-time. However, OUPnP permits discovering resources (the healthcare-giver that could give the fastest help, the nearest hospital that can receive the patient, best communications parameters for WebRTC sessions, etc.)
