Remote Diagnostic System

The Canadian health care system is a publically funded service for all residents in Canada. While most medical services are covered by the plan, there are few others along with drug prescriptions that are billed at the patient's expense. In general, Canadians are in support of the current health care system provided by the government. However, inefficiency in the current health care system poses a major problem.Our proposed solution to the inefficiency in the ER is to engage remote diagnosis before the patient arrives at the hospital. In conjunction, timely and easily accessible patient data will aim to decrease the patient's length of stay, and to reduce the wait time for other patients in the ER. The solution consists of three components: remote diagnosis tool, central server, and a data display client. The combination of components create what we call the Remote Diagnostic System. Paramedics will be able to assess the patient's condition and digitally transfer the assessment data to the hospital. ER doctors will review the data on a data display client, and can contact the paramedics for additional assessment if needed. Otherwise, they can simply prepare treatments and wait for the patient's arrival so it can be done immediately, depending on the severity of the injury
