Mission Statement
Mission Statement Statem Stateme nt
To deliver a device for medical use, that not only record and analysis Vital signs, but also be able to ID the patient and transmit all critical data seamlessly to hospitals.
Problem $17 billion of miss diagnostic costs are associated with preventable errors.
Miss Diagnostics: Reports indicated that as many as 44,000 to 98,000 people die in hospitals each year as the result of medical errors. Medical errors are the eighth leading cause of death in this country—higher than motor vehicle accidents (43,458), breast cancer (42,297), or AIDS (16,516). Nation approximately $37.6 billion each year; about $17 billion of those costs are associated with preventable errors. About half of the expenditures for preventable medical errors are for direct health care costs. Miscommunication with the hospital. If the EMS does not accurately report to the hospital what treatment an accident victim has had, the patient may not receive the proper care - or may receive a double dose of treatment. Both are dangerous.
GE Global Research Profile Mission: GRC is the growth engine for GE. We strive to drive new technology breakthroughs, introduce this technology into the product pipeline and leverage it to fuel growth for GE’s businesses.

GE is working to develop a platform to connect today’s disparate health care IT systems, allowing physicians to share a patient’s medical records seamlessly with other health care providers. Access to this information is critical so that physicians and patients can make informed choices about health care. It also helps to reduce unnecessary work and the chances of medical errors.
Interoperability, or allowing providers to share records and view them from anywhere, is a requirement for facilities to receive some of the more than $17 billion in stimulus funding that the government is offering to encourage the adoption of electronic medical records. Congress will likely penalize providers who aren’t doing so by 2014, cutting their Medicaid and Medicare payments, the Obama administration said.

Medical technology industries spent greater shares of research and development as a percent of sales in 2002 than did other U.S. industries: 11.4% for the Medical Devices industry and 12.9% for Drugs and Medicine, compared to 5.6% for Telecommunications, 4.1% for Auto, 3.9% for Electrical/Electronics, 3.5% for All Companies, and 3.1% for Aerospace/Defense.9

Paramedic The responsibility of the Paramedic includes obtaining a comprehensive drug history from the patient that includes name of drugs, strength, daily usage and dosage. The paramedic must take into consideration that many factors, in relation to the history given, can affect the type medication to be given. For example, some patients may be taking several medications prescribed by several different doctors and some may lose track of what they have or have not taken. A paramedic functions as the most extensively trained primary care provider in the pre-hospital setting. The paramedic is responsible for all aspects of care provided to the sick and injured. The paramedic provides both basic and advanced life support, including comprehensive patient assessment, invasive airway management, cardiac monitoring and administration of medications. The paramedic is frequently in a leadership role working with a small team of lesser-trained
prehospital care providers. The paramedic is responsible for verbal communication with the patient, other prehospital providers and hospital personnel, including physician medical directors. The paramedic completes extensive written documentation on patient condition and treatment provided, and must understand all applicable legal, moral and ethical issues surrounding emergency medical service.
The term paramedic comes from para(auxiliary) and medical, and means “related to medicine in an auxiliary capacity�.

Technology Fujitsu has developed a contact less palm vein pattern authentication technology that uses vascular patterns as personal identification data. Vein recognition technology is secure because the authentication data exists inside the body and is therefore very difficult to forge. It is also highly accurate — in testing using140,000 palm profiles of 70,000 individuals, it had a false acceptance rate of less than 0.00008% and a false rejection rate of 0.01%*. Palm vein authentication works by comparing the pattern of veins in the palm (which appear as blue lines) of a person being authenticated with a pattern stored in a database. Vascular patterns are unique to each individual, according to Fujitsu research — even identical twins have different patterns. And since the vascular patterns exist inside the body, they cannot be stolen by means of photography, voice recording or fingerprints,thereby making this method of biometrics authentication more secure than others.

DITI, or digital infrared thermal imaging, is a noninvasive diagnostic test that allows a health practitioner to see and measure changes in skin surface temperature. An infrared scanning camera translates infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface and records them on a color monitor. This visual image graphically maps the body temperature
and is referred to as a thermogram. The spectrum of colors indicates an increase or decrease in the amount of infrared radiation being emitted from the body surface. In healthy people, there is a symmetrical skin pattern which is consistent and reproducible for any individual.
Development of software and medical products are already underway, the ability to view data digitally and stream this information onto a personal computing device gives a beneďŹ cial ďŹ nding to technology in the development of The G.E. Vita initial biometrics scanner

Design
Current EMT equipment is bulky and cumbersome Reduction in the amount of gear and equipment for paramedics and EMTs will help in situations where there is immediate or high levels of danger Hospital savings of millions of dollars due to the fact that there will be less error in the operation and procedure due to miss diagnostics. The results of the unit will outweigh the cost of the unit substantially
When the opportunity came to the initial design of the device, there were many factors that came to mind; should the design be simple, easy to use, durable, held with one or two hands, where the buttons would be placed, so on and so forth. These next few pages encompass the stratigic thought process that lead to the ďŹ nal design of product, interface, iconography, system, and user experience.
Ideations invovling a system that transfers vital signs of a emergency patient to hospitals upon arrival. Doctors will have the data inputed into a system data base. Having the medical records at hand as the patient is delivered to the hospital. Increasing productivity and lower the chance for misdiagnostics can allow for a more speedier and efďŹ cient way to perform medical tasks without any time lost.
Design ingenuity must have forms of simplicity, an interface and function that paramedics can relate to. Be able to function the Vita device with ease and clarity.
Clarity of form and function comes from is an inspiration from Dieter Rams’s 10 principles of good design. “Good design is as little design as possible.”

Iconography Vital signs are measures of various physiological statistics, often taken by health professionals, in order to assess the most basic body functions. Vital signs are an essential part of a case presentation. The act of taking vital signs normally entails recording Body temperature, Pulse rate (or heart rate), Blood pressure, and Respiratory rate. Temperature can be recorded in order to establish a baseline for the individual’s normal temperature for the site and measuring conditions. The main reason for checking body temperature is to solicit any signs of systemic infection or inammation in the presence of a fever.
Blood pressure (BP) is a force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, and is one of the principal vital signs. During each heartbeat, BP varies between a maximum (systolic) and a minimum (diastolic) pressure.
Icons
The pulse is the physical expansion of the artery. Its rate is usually measured either at the wrist or the ankle and is recorded as beats per minute. Respiratory rate is the number of breaths a living being, such as a human, takes within a certain amount of time (frequently given in breaths per minute).
