The system includes a data collection device(s) that objectively monitor a subject and transmit such information to the system and real time position components that report on the availability of an individual(s) to perform the procedure. The system reviews the information, provides a subject diagnosis and recommends equipment. The system can also schedule and monitor the procedure. The individual(s) performing the procedure have the option of consulting with relevant experts and visually interacting with the experts. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for dynamically diagnosing a subject and coordinating personnel and equipment for enhanced performance of a procedure, the system comprising: a software application, the application operating on a mobile computer device or on a computer device, which is in communication with at least one data collection device for monitoring the subject and at least one positioning system component linked to an individual who has previously performed the procedure, the application is configured to receive subject information from the data collection device and location information from the individual, and to communicate the subject information and location information through a wired and/or wireless communication network to a server located at a site where the procedure is to be performed or at a location remote from the site; and a processor that is in communication through the wired and/or wireless communication network with the software application, as well as the server, the processer is configured to call up from a database of the system, upon communication of the subject information and location information to the server: a predetermined potential issue manifestation, a predetermined potential diagnosis, based on the potential issue manifestation, a predetermined potential procedure for treating the potential diagnosis, and a plurality of available equipment for performing the procedure; wherein the issue manifestation, diagnosis, procedure, and equipment have been previously uploaded to the database by a professional with knowledge of the issue manifestation, diagnosis, procedure, or equipment or an employee, contractor, or agent of the professional; whereby the processor is configured to: monitor the location information, determine the availability of the individual based on the location information, notify the software application of the availability of the individual, monitor the subject information, determine a subject diagnosis by comparing the subject information to the issue manifestation, determine a subject procedure by comparing the individual to the potential procedure for treating the subject diagnosis, determine a needed item by comparing the potential equipment to the subject procedure, and notify the software application of the needed item. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the data collection device is selected from the group consisting of: an auditory device, an image capture device, a biometric device, a motion detector, a proximity sensor, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the data collection device is a wearable device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 further comprising a second positioning component attached to the equipment to perform the procedure. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4 wherein the processor is further configured to monitor the location of the equipment using the second positioning component. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4 wherein the processor is further configured to determine an estimated time of arrival at the site of both: (a) the individual at the site based on the positioning component and (b) the equipment based on the second positioning component. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the processor is further configured to notify the individual of the estimated time of arrival of the equipment at the site. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to permit a professional, who is at a location remote from the site, to interact with the individual. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8 wherein the interaction occurs via a laser pointer located at the site. ### Claim 10 A method for dynamically diagnosing a subject and coordinating personnel and equipment for enhanced performance of a procedure, the method comprising: receiving information pertaining to: (1) the subject from a data collection device and (2) an individual who has previously performed the procedure from a positioning system component with a server or a remote server using a software application operating on a mobile computer device or a computer device that may be synced with the mobile computer device, and wherein the mobile computer device or the computer device communicate through a wired and/or wireless communication network with the server at a site the procedure will be performed or with the remote server in a location that is remote to the site and in communication with the server; upon receiving the information, calling up from a database using a processor: (1) a predetermined potential issue manifestation, (2) a predetermined potential diagnosis, based on the potential issue manifestation, (3) a predetermined potential procedure for treating the potential diagnosis, and (4) a plurality of available equipment for performing the procedure; wherein the issue manifestation, diagnosis, procedure, and equipment have been previously uploaded to the database by a professional with knowledge of the issue manifestation, diagnosis, procedure, or equipment or an employee, contractor, or agent of the professional; tracking a location of the individual and determining the availability of the individual to perform the procedure based on the location information; notifying the software application of the availability of the individual; monitoring the data collection device information and determining a subject diagnosis by comparing the data collection device information with the issue manifestation; determining a subject procedure by comparing the individual to the potential procedure for treating the subject diagnosis; determining a needed item by comparing the potential equipment to the subject procedure; and notifying the software application of the needed item. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the data collection device is selected from the group consisting of: an auditory device, an image capture device, a biometric device, a motion detector, a proximity sensor, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the data collection device is a wearable device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 further comprising receiving information pertaining to a second positioning component attached to the equipment to perform the procedure. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13 wherein the processor monitors the location of the equipment using the second positioning component. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13 further comprising: determining an estimated time of arrival at the site of both: (a) the individual at the site based on the positioning component and (b) the equipment based on the second positioning component; and notifying the individual of the estimated time of arrival of the equipment at the site. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10 further comprising a professional, who is at a location remote from the site, interacting with the individual. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16 wherein the interacting occurs via a laser pointer located at the site.
