Project EVE :: Ang Lee, the Magician

Abstract:

Frequently there are disasters happening in the world - fire accidents, big earthquakes, or even some unexpected catastrophes. Hence people are injured or even died. According to the statistics from the Taiwan Fire Administration and the emergency center of the National Taiwan University Hospital, many people in accidents died becauses the hospitals neither had enough first hand information nor had a full-scale recue system. Even unfortunately, many rescuers lost their lives during the rescue operations. This is what motivated us to develop a rescue system to assist the present one. Our System not only provides an efficent wireless rescue network, but also protect the lives of the recues heros with physical sensors and early warning subsystems.

E-Vanguard for Emergency (EVE), aims to provide a system that assist the rescue work and first-aid work. EVE consists of recuers equpped with wearable PDAs, medics with notebooks plus GPS, a rescue command center, and a monitor subsystem including physical sensors. EVE helps the rescue work by monitoring rescuers' physical condition and the environment information to give a timely warning. EVE also helps system collects instant medical information of the injured and transmit the data to the nearby medics or recuers. This data is then further relayed to the recue command post.
