Abstract

Described herein are systems, devices, methods, and media for connecting a user for providing emergency response assistance to victims and emergency service providers. In some embodiments, a method for automatically populating an incident report includes the steps of: generating a victim code for display at a first electronic device; receiving an emergency data request comprising the victim code from a second electronic device associated with an emergency service provider (ESP) personnel; gathering emergency data associated with the victim code; transmitting the emergency data associated with the victim code to the second electronic device associated with the ESP personnel; and automatically populating, at the second electronic device associated with the ESP personnel, one or more fields of an incident report using the emergency data associated with the victim code.

Claims (38)

1. A method for providing emergency response assistance by an emergency management system (EMS), the method comprising:

providing a victim code for display at a first electronic device;

receiving an emergency data request comprising the victim code from a second electronic device;

gathering emergency data associated with the victim code; and

transmitting the emergency data associated with the victim code for display at the second electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is associated with a device identifier associated with the first electronic device and wherein gathering the emergency data associated with the victim code comprises gathering emergency data associated with the device identifier.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is provided to the first electronic device to be locally stored on the first electronic device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is provided to the first electronic device in order to be displayed when the first electronic device enters an emergency mode.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is provided to the first electronic device to be presented on the display of the first electronic device within a lock screen of the first electronic device without unlocking the first electronic device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is provided to the first electronic device to be presented on the display of the first electronic device within a medical ID screen.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the victim code is generated by the EMS and provided to the first electronic device in response to the medical ID screen being accessed.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is provided to the second electronic device when the second electronic device scans the victim code presented on a display of the first electronic device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the victim code is presented on the display of the first electronic device in the form of a QR code.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic device is associated with an emergency service provider (ESP) personnel.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising automatically populating, at the second electronic device associated with the ESP personnel, one or more fields of an incident report using the emergency data associated with the victim code.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

obtaining a device location associated with the first or second electronic device;

retrieving one or more emergency response parameters associated with the victim code;

determining, using the device location associated with the first or second electronic device and the one or more emergency response parameters, one or more medical service providers having one or more provider locations in proximity to the device location; and

transmitting the one or more provider locations to the second electronic device associated with the ESP personnel within the emergency data associated with the victim code.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the emergency data associated with the victim code comprises an emergency contact associated with the first electronic device or an identifier associated with the first electronic device.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is generated by the EMS and wherein the victim code expires after a predetermined duration of time after the victim code is generated.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is presented on the display of the first electronic device in the form of an alphanumeric code.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is permanent or static.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first electronic device is a wearable device.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic device is a smartphone.

19. A system comprising:

(a) a network server executed on one or more processors; and

(b) an emergency management system (EMS) communicatively coupled to the network server and configured to:

provide a victim code for display at a first electronic device;

receive an emergency data request comprising the victim code from a second electronic device;

gather emergency data associated with the victim code; and

transmit the emergency data associated with the victim code for display at the second electronic device.

20. Non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

provide a victim code for display at a first electronic device;

receive an emergency data request comprising the victim code from a second electronic device;

gather emergency data associated with the victim code; and

transmit the emergency data associated with the victim code for display at the second electronic device.
