Integrated Advanced Life Support Domestic Emergency Lounge Pod (EMA)

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION ( SPECIFICATION)

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[002] This invention relates to a fixed emergency advanced life support and care unit and in particular but not limited to a all-in-one fixed advanced life support unit out-off-hospital and for home use connected to a Medical Communication Service & System, in form it is an oval shaped lounge pod with integrated encased ALS fixtures.

BACKGROUND ART

[003] Commonly in a Medical Emergency Situation, the Patient relies on the arrival of an ALS or BLS Ambulance to administer First Aid Life Support, after which the patient is taken to the Hospital. Generally this is the Sequence of events and the way an Emergency Situation is to be handled. The prevalent Problems in the Third and Developing World is the infrastructure in terms of Ambulance Service Accessibility, poor Road Network and Infrastructure, inflated medical expenses, poor medical facilities and poor ER Service both in private and government hospitals, and the lack of the personal touch.

[004] This Invention is an African Solution to solve an African Problem., because in the majority of Emergency cases in Africa, an Ambulance and/or medical First Aid Service is mostly non-existent and if any, than they are unequipped, unreliable, unprofessional and medically unregulated. It takes a good amount of time most often too late, to reach the patient and get back to the hospital in time.

[005] These African Emergencies are maneuvered through non-existent roads, unregulated traffic chaos, unforeseen variables and the pressures of congested Traffic gridlocks. Therefore it is more favorable and practical to introduce an affordable high Quality, Mass-produced Emergency Life Support Unit for Domestic and home installation, that can cater to all first aid emergency situations, onsite on time.

[006] This system would be supported by a medical logistic service whereby professional medical assistance would avail the necessary medical support on site on call to save lives.

[007] To make MELO practical and workable, a Service Agreements would be made with existing Security firms providing private security and response Service to Clients, whereby professional medical assistants would be deployed with the security service provider in their response vehicles at designated areas to quickly respond to the medical emergency alarm activation. This would guarantee quicker emergency response time.

[008] To avoid the unfriendly eye sore of a conventional ER facility and Hospital Bed in the Home//Office atmosphere, MELO offers an alternative modern Home like appliance that has the same medical use as the ER, but not the unfriendly look. The MELO Unit is a homogenized Accessory, made available in various colors codes matching with the Home/ Office Interior. Encased inside the MELO Unit is all the vital Advance Life System apparatus including the lounge like Bed which can easily be utilized when an Emergency arises.

[009] The Invention culminates from the idea of creating a medical ER casing that is focused more on cosmetically appealing design, so as to homogenize in the interior layout of the home/ office environment and can be stored in any part of a room without looking out of place. The Unit embodies Provisional Patent Application Melvin Chiro Bandari / 13/10/2013

Integrated Advanced Life Support Domestic Emergency Lounge Pod (EMA)

within its walls, all vital ALS medical emergency apparatus in one functioning design pod. Prior Art known as followed and Disadvantages described as followed:

[010] Prior art solutions are generally unsatisfactory in terms of design and purpose and it is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative system which alleviates the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art. :

[011] ER, Emergency Room: This Medical Pod as compared to the conventional Emergency Room, has been scaled down in size and integrated in its design to omit the large institutional characteristic of a general ER hospital. The medical Pod (MELO) is a more consumer friendly domestic appliance. The MELO unit needs no special installation facility, it can be easily placed in any sanitized recreational room and plugged in

[012] Hospital Bed: ( Prior Art) in comparison to the new MELO Unit: The MELO unit can not clearly be compared to the conventional Hospital bed, MELO includes one mattress feature which are similar to a Hospital bed, yet the entire MELO Unit is a complete functional apparatus, whereby the Bed Position becomes a secondary element. The Importance is to be drawn to the functional method of the entire MELO Unit and clearly differentiates in Design Elements and the scope of use of the MELO Unit. The entire Design of MELO is more cosmetic and visual appealing unlike the Hospital Bed which is a cold visual Metal Frame whereby all medical appliances are scattered and openly displayed.

[013] ICU : Medical Intensive Care Unit: The ICU unit is a flexible field unit or a fixed in-hospital unit, whereby in known prior art all equipment are scattered and a standard Operation Table is mostly in use. It is not appealing to install such a High- Tec and expensive unit in a household and it is visual unattractive. MELO is a visual attractive all-in-one unit which is designed to be a homogenized colorful Appliance for Homes. MELO comes with an attached Medical Service Emergency Response Support system.

[014] Ambulance: Prior Art in comparison to the Integrated Emergency advanced life support Medical Lounge Pod MELO unit: The Ambulance Vehicle can be compared in some way to the MELO Unit as the Idea is derived from it, yet the functional Method of the MELO Unit is different, as it is to be used as a permanent out-off-hospital appliance for domestic homes and offices. In this case the service of the Ambulance to be called, arrive and transport back the patient to the hospital is not necessary as all important components are at hand in time onsite at home.

[015] Field Stretcher with removable medical apparatus: These stretchers are used i.e. in Military field operations and/or for Transport in Emergency Cases, also to be placed i.e. in an Aircraft. Though the functional design of these stretchers is very convenient for such operations, these stretchers have been designed as a tool for field and military paramedics, MELO in comparison is designed for the personal home use and is more of a visual showcase, which contains medical equipment camouflaged and integrated in the homogenized colored Body case Structure.

Advantages of the Invention compared to Prior Art

[016]. The advantages of this Integrated Emergency advanced life support Medical Lounge Pod, Provisional Patent Application Melvin Chiro Bandari / 13/10/2013

Integrated Advanced Life Support Domestic Emergency Lounge Pod (EMA)

is a functional All-in-One Emergency First Aid Personal Home Appliance which is ready to use and saves an important amount of time to save a life compared to the common Ambulance Transport method and ER In-hospital Facilities.

[017]. Another advantage is a new functional design of an out-off-Hospital, personal Appliance, which can be placed, serviced and maintained in any Home and/or First Aid Office, i.e. in Factories, Schools, community center; instead of the common conventional practice of transporting the patient to Hospitals and Clinics. Integrated Emergency advanced life support Medical Lounge Pod MELO has been invented to be bring Medical Convenience, to the comforts of a Consumer home environment. The unit belongs to the individual and the medical care administration becomes responsible directly to the patient/ MELO Owner.

[018]. This appliance offers all that is needed for the most common emergency case inclusive Cardiac Arrest Assistance, pediatric Capabilities up to the Capabilities for Home Birth Delivery whereby Body part E can be twisted sideways and upwards in an upgraded version/model of MELO. MELO, in extreme cases, can also act as an intensive care Unit or an operation Unit.

[019]. Compared to the common methods of placing medical equipment's, this appliance is able to be placed in any known non-medical facility/space and be kept permanently placed as the body case is off a reasonable size and fashionable outfit.

[020]. There is no known product on the market that integrates all emergency ICU & ALS equipment in one single personalized unit for out- off-hospital medical application that is readily available for sale as a consumer accessory for home use. MELO comes with a service package. The Integrated Emergency advanced life support Medical Lounge Pod MELO unit will be connected to an Alarm and Service System. An alarm signal is triggered to the Main service Center at the opening of the Casing. ALS is going to be administered by a qualified medical professional who receives the triggered call. The Medic is able to perform and record non-life threatening emergency treatment/operations with the Advanced technology installed in the Unit, to handle such cases in a non-medical facility. MELO is equipped with a Communication System, camera and a LCD Monitor used by the Medic to communicate with the medical Call-Center.

[021]. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a first-aid module which is of a reduced volume unlike those currently on the market if any, fashionable in design so that it can be introduced in homes, offices, schools, factories, hotels and out of hospital facilities for convenience, without looking out of place in a non-medical facility.

[022]. It is yet a further object of the invention to provide a self-contained first-aid module of low weight, cosmetically designed appeal in particular to be able to be to fit in homes like any domestic appliance, furniture, utility fixture and accessory that will not be seen to be out of place in a domestic environment.

[023]. It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide and to mass produce a specially- equipped emergency module to always make available the emergency room to the homes, schools, factories, hotels and any non medical facility, to remove the variables of emergency transport, ambulance operations and delays. MELO bring the ER to the living room without the living room looking like an ER.

[024]. The present invention, Integrated Emergency advanced life support Medical Lounge Pod, is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art. Provisional Patent Application Melvin Chiro Bandari / 13/10/2013
