An iOS location-based emergency notification application
Michel Schevernels
Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ir. Erik DuvalAdvisor: Gonzalo Parra
Context Sudden cardiac arrest Not the same as heart attack
Electrical vs Circulation problem First 5 minutes crucial -> brain damage Ambulances take up to 9 minutes to arrive
This in Germany
Goal Reduce deaths
Can we use current technology for reducing the response time? Introduce VNS
Lay-men will be notified in a cardiac arrest situation iOS application
Why a VNS? A study showed that an increase of 80% in the number of
ambulances only reduces the response time by a minute! Who is a volunteer?
Everyone who has a certificate of taking part in a CPR course.
Topical Issue – Article 17/10/2013
Literature Not much out there Studied other projects Very topical issue Legal aspects
PulsePoint Made in the USA Smartphones (Android and iOS) Only for public places Each community has to implement an interface
to communicate with their API App is free to download, but the community
has to pay an annual fee. Volunteers don’t have to be trained Offer: Notifications and AED locations
Hartveilig wonen Build in the Netherlands Texting service When notified, get a location of the victim and
an AED. Volunteers are notified based on their profile
settings Everyone can join, even those without
training, but you have to take a course. Offer: notification system, courses, counseling
and have a insurance policy
HartslagNu Build in the Netherlands Texting service In a SCA event 30 volunteers notified, 1/3 sent
to victim, 2/3 first to an AED Distance volunteers <-> victim 1000m,
volunteer <-> AED 500m Only volunteers with certificate can join Offers only notification system
The EMuRgency Project (Germany) Build by a team of the Aachen University Smartphone (Android) Everyone can join in, even those not trained Volunteers are notified based on pushed GPS
locations Distance volunteers <-> victim 1000m Don’t use AEDs Offer: Only notification system
SMSlivräddare (SMSlifesavers) Recent project from Sweden Only in Stockholm County Texting service Volunteers have to be trained Not finished
Legal Aspects Not legal as it stands Volunteers will have to have a certificate Volunteers are obliged to go help Are allowed to travel by car Data about a case and the participating
volunteers should be stored for 30 years
My work Analysing other projects and legal aspects Requirements Paper prototype + evaluation Digital prototype
Requirements iOS application Notification system guide volunteers to the
victim AED locations List of courses or info sessions in the vicitiny Information
Paper prototype
Evaluation prototype Focus on usability not visually appealing 7 people ages 23 – 55, no computer scientists!
Down side not much feedback in terms of design Using System Usability Scale Feedback overall positive
Digital prototype Implementing in iOS (iOS7) Sat down with a Graphical Designer
He introduced an alternative home view. If there is time left, I will do an analysis which is
better. Almost finished Demo at the end.
Difficulties Push notification Program in the background Deciding who gets a notification Legal issues (Volunteers can’t accept a case,
store the information,…)
Planning December (31st)
Finishing digital prototype Look up requirements push server
January (8th): Evaluation digital prototype
January Studying
February Start programming
March Finish programming
Planning April
Evaluate program Writing thesis
May If there is time, make GUI look nice Writing thesis
