Medinova is an integrated emergency response system designed to bridge the critical information gap between an ambulance and a hospital.
At its core, the project consists of two main parts:
-
An IoT Hardware Kit: This unit, placed inside an ambulance, uses a GPS module to track the vehicle's exact location and biomedical sensors (ECG,SpO2,HR) to monitor a patient's live vital signs.
-
A Hospital Web Dashboard: This is a real-time web application used by emergency room staff. It displays a map with the ambulance's location, its calculated ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), and a live stream of the patient's vitals.
We built MediNova to solve a deadly problem: delays and lack of information in emergency medical care. The time between a medical incident and a patient receiving definitive care at a hospital is called the "golden hour," and every second counts.
Currently, this hour is fraught with inefficiencies:
-
Dispatch Uncertainty: Dispatchers often don't know the exact real-time location of every ambulance, making it hard to send the absolute closest one.
-
Hospital Blindness: Emergency rooms often receive patients with no prior information. They are "flying blind," unable to prepare specific equipment, rooms, or specialist teams until the patient is wheeled through the door.
