TRANSCRIPT
Network-Concept and Requirements
• Connects the watch to the call center via existing networks
• Same basic functionality as a cell phone• Be able to send a signal in the case of
emergency to call center• Contains a two way voice connection• Able to send data to call center
NetworkSpecialized Cell Phone
• Device is a specialized cell phone that can only call a single number
• Can report data via SMS• Calling can be both manually triggered or
automatically tripped• We can partner with a preexisting carrier in
order to reduce costs
Parts needed for Network Access
• Antenna• microphone• speaker• special circuit componets integrated onto the
circuit board
NetworkRisks
• Needs to be partnered with a major carrier in order to access the network
• the antenna would have to be integrated into the watch and be isolated from skin to avoid electrical issues
• Miniaturization of all parts to fit inside the watch
• total battery life may prove to be a major issue.
Call Center-Concept
• Call center to interface between the Watch user and EMS
• Determine if the emergency is real or if its a false alarm
• comfort the user if its an emergency while informing authorities
• access to telephone and basic medical records• training to understand what they are needed to do• Uses existing call center systems that require minimal
retraining
Call Center-Design AlternativeComputer Voice system
Advantages• Save money by removing
the human operators in the call center
• Rapid EMS response
Disadvantages• Can’t separate out false
alarms• Larger volume of false
alarms • EMS could get annoyed at
having a computer voice that cant respond back
Call Center - Operators
• Operators have to talk to the customer in order to determine if the call is a false alarm or the actual emergency
• Communicate with authorities to inform them of the emergency and provide them with basic information and location
• Operators have to be able to understand some basic medical issues in order to help the customer with their issue
