Abstract

Healthcare environment integrate several health care services through a high degree of mutual work, mobility and information access from many devices and artifacts. Sharing of information through a fast and reliable transmission media among the services will have a significant impact. The rapid developments in mobile communication technologies and new generations of mobile devices allow users access to stored data even when they travel. This capability has elicited emergency medical data transmission over cellular network. In this paper, we have proposed a message framework for emergency medical data transmission and an agent based implementation mechanism. The HL7 messaging format, a standard adopted for medical data transmission is discussed. The messaging mechanism is used in AMMA; an agent based mobile middleware architecture for reliable transmission of patient data from the ambulance to the hospital over code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular network.
