Fujitsu Human Centric Innovation in society

Summary

The video illustrates how integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, through Fujitsu’s Run My Process, can revolutionize emergency medical response. By connecting sensors, wearables, and real-time data, critical information about an injured cyclist—such as accident severity, GPS location, and medical history—can be rapidly shared. This allows for quicker ambulance dispatch, optimized routing, and real-time medical updates. The result is a faster, more efficient response that could save lives, demonstrating how human-centric connectivity transforms business, healthcare, and society.

Takeaways

• 😀 The Internet of Things (IoT) offers vast opportunities in business and society by connecting devices such as wearables, smartphones, and physical sensors.
• 😀 In a critical emergency situation, such as a cyclist suffering a serious head injury, rapid access to data and effective coordination are essential for improving outcomes.
• 😀 Delays in emergency response, such as unclear location information or traffic congestion, can significantly impact the effectiveness of treatment and recovery.
• 😀 Fujitsu's 'Run My Process' platform integrates various technologies to provide a human-centric solution that improves emergency response times and treatment quality.
• 😀 Bluetooth-enabled sensors attached to a cyclist's body and bike track key health metrics (e.g., heart rate, cycling cadence, acceleration) and send this data to the cloud platform.
• 😀 The platform immediately notifies emergency services with accurate location data and medical information, facilitating quicker and more informed response.
• 😀 Traffic congestion is managed proactively through real-time sensor data, enabling the platform to reroute ambulances to avoid delays and ensure the fastest path to treatment.
• 😀 The platform connects paramedics to the cyclist’s medical records in real time, ensuring the best possible treatment during transport to the hospital.
• 😀 With seamless integration across infrastructure, people, and information, critical minutes are saved, improving the chances of successful treatment and recovery for the injured cyclist.
• 😀 This approach exemplifies the vision of a human-centric intelligent society, where technologies are connected to enhance both everyday business and life, particularly in critical situations.

Q & A

What does the Internet of Things (IoT) promise in terms of business and society?

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises huge new opportunities by connecting various devices like wearables, smartphones, cloud software, and physical sensors, leading to significant impacts on various sectors including healthcare.

How does the scenario in the video illustrate the limitations of traditional emergency response systems?

In the traditional system, there are delays due to unclear location information, lack of access to medical records, traffic jams, and inadequate hospital staffing, which lead to increased time to treatment and a poor outlook for the patient.

What role does Fujitsu's Run My Process platform play in the scenario?

Fujitsu's Run My Process platform integrates sensors, information systems, and people to enhance the emergency response process by streamlining communication, providing real-time data, and optimizing routes and treatment.

What types of data are collected by the smart sensors in this scenario?

The smart sensors collect data including acceleration, cycling cadence, and heart rate information from both the cyclist and the bicycle to detect serious accidents.

How does the cyclist's smartwatch contribute to the response process?

The cyclist’s smartwatch detects the accident, uploads data such as the cyclist's GPS location and medical history to the Fujitsu platform, and triggers the emergency alert, initiating the rescue process.

What improvements are seen in the emergency response with the use of cloud computing and IoT technologies?

With cloud computing and IoT, emergency response is faster and more precise. The system optimizes ambulance routing, provides medical records in real-time, and ensures the patient receives the right treatment faster.

How does the platform help in optimizing ambulance routes?

The platform uses live traffic data from the smart city operations center to calculate the quickest and most efficient route to the accident site, ensuring faster arrival times for the ambulance.

How does the Fujitsu platform handle changes in traffic conditions during the response?

The platform is connected to the smart city operations center, which monitors real-time traffic conditions. If traffic congestion arises, the platform updates the route to avoid delays, ensuring the fastest route to the hospital.

What happens once the ambulance reaches the hospital?

Upon arrival, the hospital staff are already informed of the cyclist’s medical condition and history, allowing them to act immediately without wasting time on assessments, significantly improving the chances of a positive outcome.

What is meant by a 'human-centric intelligent society' in the context of this video?

A human-centric intelligent society refers to a system that uses technology to connect people, information, and infrastructure to improve quality of life and business outcomes. It prioritizes efficiency, safety, and well-being, as demonstrated in the emergency response scenario.
