Proxemics for first aid to unconscious injured person

Abstract

Aujourd'hui, il y a une grande variété d'applications mobiles de premiers secours pour les appareils Android et iOS pour aider les utilisateurs en situations dangereuses. Cependant, leur utilisation massive est limitée en raison de plusieurs aspects, tels que l'interaction complexe pour l'utilisateur ou le besoin d'appareils spéciaux pour l'identification médicale. Pour trouver une solution au problème décrit précédemment, nous adoptons une approche basée sur les interactions proxémiques. Dans ce contexte, nous proposons une premier Application de secours mobile (FAMA) basée sur l'interaction Proxémique, développé avec Bluetooth à basse consommation (BLE) et la balise (Beacon) technologie. Dans la première évaluation, nous décrivons les aspects et les défis liés au développement de FAMA.Ces résultats démontrent l'avantage de l'utilisation de l'interaction proxémique pour mettre en oeuvre l'IHM, dans le contexte de l'urgence et des services de secours, en termes de meilleure performance et d'accessibilité, par rapport aux applications mobiles de premiers soins existantes.

Mobile proxemic application development for smart environments

“…This work uses a visual monitoring tool (called Microsoft Kinect Depth Camera), that allows developers to classify which entities are being tracked and how the details of information are stored in the application for creating identities. FAMA (First Aid Mobile Application) [29] is a mobile app based on proxemic interactions that offers rescuers to obtain emergency identification (identity) of an unconscious person, as the rescuers are moving toward the injured person's proxemic zones. FAMA uses Beacon BLE technology for the identification of entities (injured people).…”

“…The movement also allow gesture recognition through smartphones or wearable technologies by employing motion sensors [2]. FAMA, a first aid mobile app, identifies potential rescuers as they move towards the injured person's proxemic zones [29].…”

“…In all of these applications, the interaction objects (i.e., people and devices) are considered as entities; when the Identity dimension is implemented, these entities are explicitly identified in a particular role. For example, FAMA [29] uses a combination of Distance and Movement of people with respect to an identifiable person. In other studies, entities have been implicitly managed.…”

“…However, proxemic interaction on mobile devices has not been implemented in full. There are some mobile applications based on proxemic interaction [4,29,30] that have been recently developed without the use of proxemic frameworks. Accordingly, to overcome those limitations and offer a solution for defining and managing smart proxemic environments, we propose a framework, which defines a systematic development process supported on an API, focused on creating proxemic applications using the smart-mobile sensors to obtain DILMO dimensions.…”

Proxemic Interactions in Mobile Devices to Avoid the Spreading of Infections

“…Proxemic environments reacting to distance, identity, and orientation (i.e., DIO proxemic environments) are presented in [45][46][47]. In [48], a DIM proxemic environment is described in the context of a First Aid Mobile Application (FAMA). FAMA offers the rescuers the ability of obtaining emergency identification (identity) of an unconscious person, as the rescuers are moving toward the injured person's proxemic zones.…”
