Abstract :
Rescue system with vital sign, location and attitude monitoring together with traffic condition, readiness of helper in particular for disabled and elderly persons is proposed. All the sensors which allows monitoring blood pressure, body temperature, pulse rate, measuring sensor for the number of steps, calorie consumption, EEG, EMG, GPS receiver, WiFi or Wireless LAN receiver for location estimation, accelerometer are attached to the human body. Measured data are transferred to the mobile devices through Bluetooth. Mobile devices are connected with Internet terminals through WiFi, or Wireless LAN. Thus these physical and psychological health data are collected in the Health Information Collection Center. Thus those who are wearing the sensors can get a help from the assigned specific helper to the patient when evacuation from disaster areas.
