Abstract
According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus (500; FIG. 5) for determining an action to be taken in response to an emergency call, the apparatus comprising: a processor (502; FIG. 5) configured to receive an indication that an emergency call has been initiated; extract, from speech transmitted as part of the emergency call, features indicative of a medical condition or event relating to a subject; obtain medical data relating to the subject; predict, based on the extracted features and the medical data, an acuity level of the subject; determine, based on the acuity level, an action to be taken in respect of the subject; and provide an indication of the determined action for presentation to a recipient.
Claims15
An apparatus for determining an action to be taken in response to an emergency call, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive an indication that an emergency call has been initiated;
- extract, from speech transmitted as part of the emergency call, features indicative of a medical condition or event relating to a subject;
- obtain medical data relating to the subject;
- predict, based on the extracted features and the medical data, an acuity level of the subject;
- determine, based on the acuity level, an action to be taken in respect of the subject;
- and
- provide an indication of the determined action for presentation to a recipient,
- wherein providing the indication of the determined action for presentation to the recipient comprises securely transmitting the indication of the determined action to the recipient, along with at least one of:
- data relating to the emergency call, the features extracted from the speech, at least a portion of the medical data relating to the subject, and the predicted acuity level, and
- wherein a level of detail and amount of information in the indication of the determined action is tailored, using the extraction model, based on one or more characteristics associated with the recipient.
A computer-implemented method for determining an action to be taken in response to an emergency call, the method comprising:
- determining that an emergency call has been initiated;
- extracting, from speech transmitted as part of the emergency call, features indicative of a medical condition or event relating to a subject;
- obtaining medical data relating to the subject;
- predicting, based on the extracted features and the medical data, an acuity level of the subject;
- determining, based on the acuity level, an action to be taken in respect of the subject;
- and
- providing an indication of the determined action for presentation to a recipient,
- wherein providing the indication of the determined action for presentation to the recipient comprises securely transmitting the indication of the determined action to the recipient, along with at least one of:
- data relating to the emergency call, the features extracted from the speech, at least a portion of the medical data relating to the subject, and the predicted acuity level, and
- wherein a level of detail and amount of information in the indication of the determined action is tailored, using the extraction model, based on one or more characteristics associated with the recipient.
A system for determining an action to be taken in response to an emergency call, the system comprising:
- a call detection module for detecting the initiation of an emergency call;
- a speech processing module for extracting, from speech transmitted as part of the emergency call, features indicative of a medical condition or event relating to a subject;
- an extraction module for extracting, from a memory, medical data relating to the subject;
- at least one prediction module for:
- predicting, based on the extracted features and the medical data, an acuity level of the subject;
- and
- determining, based on the acuity level, an action to be taken in respect of the subject;
- and
- a user interface for presenting an indication of the determined action,
- wherein the indication of the determined action comprises securely transmitting the indication of the determined action to a recipient, along with at least one of:
- data relating to the emergency call, the features extracted from the speech, at least a portion of the medical data relating to the subject, and the predicted acuity level, and
- wherein a level of detail and amount of information in the indication of the determined action is tailored, using the extraction model, based on one or more characteristics associated with the recipient.
