Computer Engineering

With the growing social pressure, most people are facing health problems, especially a lot of high-level personnel problems and increased road accidents occur frequently. As mobile phones play more and more crucial role for people in day today life, it is the best choice that the system will be deployed for mobile devices, Mobile devices support Internet access, so when the user is not feeling well, he can log in the system using mobile devices, their status will be sent to the server. It observed that people are in unknown area and are in severe danger if they don't able to find hospital quickly. In emergency case a single minute counts so it is very important that applications must be used for decision making, maintain up to date status of the hospital. Saving the time which can be save life of the patient. We have developed a location based emergency medical assistance system using OpenStreetMap (OSM) the healthcare centers or the nearest Hospitals are mapped by taking the waypoints of them. Our system comprises a database as central server of the detail information about Hospitals. Android device with application installed on it and its user. The application shows the markers of healthcare centers on the map along with audio information for visually impaired people and as per user requirements he/she chooses the nearest hospital and gets direction from current place to selected hospital using OpenStreetMap. So our main aim is to develop android application taking "Medical Emergency" into mind.
