LifeWatch / Telephone could provide just-in-time service to save lives.  added 10/09/01
Interaction phases:
1) Person believes that he may have a medical emergency 
    (LifeWatch would often inform him)
2) Call is made to national center to
Determine if there is a problem.  
    (LifeWatch would make this call automatically)
3) Person (nurse) receiving the call would talk in the user's language
    While English is a 2nd language for many calm people, 
          it probably is not the best in an Emergency
4)  Nurse would determine the problem and location (aided by LifeWatch)   
      and dispatch the 911 crew.
5) While the 911 crew is en-route the nurse would continue diagnostics and support
    example: decide that person has a stroke, 
    suggest taking an aspirin, 
    suggest getting pill bottles to bring to ER  
          - so doctors will know of possible drug interactions
    Note: nurses might have access to medical records of subscribers
6) Provide just-in-time information to 911 crew
      - stroke patients should be kept cool, upright, and not given Oxygen
      - suggest deliver victim to the appropriate 
              Stroke Care Center, Heart Care Center, and Trauma Care Center, etc. 
        Note: Many 911 services are paid to bring person to just the closest hospital.
          It might be necessary for Skyaid to provide have a "platinum" service 
              for which such custom trips are pre-paid.
      - If it were possible to be aware of ER doctor schedules,   
              Skyaid could direct EMT crews to ER rooms with "fresh" doctors.
      - Survival rate is significantly higher at ER centers with a lot of practice, 
               Skyaid would like to track that information as well 
      - Not all centers are operational at all times.  Skyaid could be aware of availability.
               For example, some stroke centers close down their CT scan systems at nigh
t.

White paper on Skyaid There are just too many web pages to read of visitors to the site to understand what Skyaid is about.  Here is the outline. updated 11/13/00

Yes, I have noticed the recent DigitalAngel press releases. I believe that DigitalAngel is making overly optimistic assumptions about the amount of electrical energy one can get from the human body.  I sent them a letter to that effect in Sept. 2000 They have not replied, but have apparently gotten some investors to believe in their concept.  Update Feb 2002

Bill Gates expressed frustration Nov 4 about not being able to improve lives of children around the world by giving computer technology.  We need to point out to Bill and the Gates Foundation that:

  • Skyaid exploits computer technology, but not computers.
  • The use of Skyaid will subsidize better health for everyone in the third world countries which use it.
  • Skyaid will noticeably reduce the # 1 and # 3 causes of adult death in virtually every country of the world.
  • Cost to save a life with Skyaid is now estimated to be about $100.
  • The Skyaid cost to eliminate a year of disability is about $10 
     compared to cost to save a year of disability with a single air bag- $70,000 or dual air bag $399,000.

I find it interesting that I did not get a single response to my discussion topic of denial.
