Situation reporting using a wearable medical device

A method for a medical support system to provide access to a situation report in assisting a patient, the method comprising:

• determining, by a wearable medical device of a patient, that at least one medical event is experienced by the patient away from a medical treatment site;
• determining a level of expertise of a support person as a bystander or a rescuer at a location of the patient during a critical time for care;
• extracting from the patient data, expertise-appropriate situation information based, at least in part, on the determined level of expertise;
• in response to determining the at least one medical event, establishing a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) connection with a communication device of the support person, wherein establishing the connection includes:
• disseminating a BLE advertising packet to advertise the at least one medical event and availability of the situation report that includes extracted patient data related to one or more occurrences associated with the at least one medical event, wherein the BLE advertising packet is configured to be received by an application running on the communication device;
• receiving a response from the communication device requesting access to the situation report;
• delivering by the wearable medical device via a BLE packet, linking data to a remote computing device for accessing the situation report;
• and
• providing access to the situation report by using the linking data.

A medical support system for to create information reports for access in assisting a patient, the medical support system comprising:

• a wearable medical device of the patient wearing the wearable medical device and configured to gather patient data, the wearable medical device comprising:
• a patient assessment module to determine that the patient experiences a medical event, based at least in part on the patient data;
• one or more treatment components to deliver treatment for the medical event to the patient;
• and
• at least one remote computing device comprising:
• an interface to communicate with the wearable medical device;
• and
• disposed in the wearable medical device and/or the at least one remote computing device, one or more processors and logic encoded in one or more non-transitory media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to perform steps comprising:
• determining a level of expertise of a support person as a bystander or a rescuer at a location of the patient during a critical time for care;
• extracting from the patient data, expertise-appropriate situation information based, at least in part, on the determined level of expertise;
• generating by a data generator module, a situation report including the extracted patient data related to one or more occurrences associated with the medical event;
• and
• providing by an access module, access for the support person at the patient location, to the situation report for use in caring for the patient during the critical time for care of the patient.
