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 (29)

1. A method for emergency communication comprising:

receiving an emergency alert associated with an emergency call from a bystander device, wherein the emergency alert comprises a location of the bystander device;

receiving an input comprising a victim code from the bystander device, wherein the victim code is associated with a person in need of emergency assistance;

retrieving emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance using the victim code, wherein the emergency information comprises medical information; and

providing the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance to a device of an emergency service provider (ESP), wherein the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance is associated with the emergency call from the bystander device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the emergency alert associated with the emergency call from the bystander device comprises making an emergency call by a bystander on behalf of the person in need of emergency assistance.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an interface for entering the victim code into the bystander device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an interface for scanning the victim code using the bystander device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim code is printed on a wearable device worn by the person in need of emergency assistance.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance comprises location information generated on the bystander device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance to the device of the ESP comprises displaying the emergency information on a call taker console at a public safety answering point (PSAP).

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance to the device of the ESP comprises displaying the emergency information to a device of a first responder.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the medical information comprises information about one or more preferred medical service providers.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the medical information comprises one or more of name, age, date of birth, pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, medications, blood type, weight, height, emergency contacts, and whether or not the person is an organ donor.

11. An emergency communication system comprising:

a server comprising a processor, a network element, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive an emergency alert associated with an emergency call from a bystander device, wherein the emergency alert comprises a location of the bystander device;

receive an input comprising a victim code from the bystander device, wherein the victim code is associated with a person in need of emergency assistance;

retrieve emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance using the victim code, wherein the emergency information comprises medical information; and

provide the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance to a device of an emergency service provider (ESP), wherein the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance is associated with the emergency call from the bystander device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the emergency call from the bystander device is made by a bystander on behalf of the person in need of emergency assistance.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to provide an interface for entering the victim code into the bystander device.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to provide an interface for scanning the victim code using the bystander device.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the victim code is printed on a wearable device worn by the person in need of emergency assistance.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance comprises location information generated on the bystander device.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein providing the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance to the device of the ESP comprises displaying the emergency information on a call taker console at a public safety answering point (PSAP).

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein providing the emergency information about the person in need of emergency assistance to the device of the ESP comprises displaying the emergency information to a device of a first responder.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the medical information comprises information about one or more preferred medical service providers.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the medical information comprises one or more of name, age, date of birth, pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, medications, blood type, weight, height, emergency contacts, and whether or not the person is an organ donor.
