"Smart helmet" will make of ordinary people professional medics

Now even an unprepared person can provide qualified medical care. Scientists from Purdue University have created a system that will allow doctors to manage the actions of people who provide first aid at the scene of the accident, according to "News Mail.RU." The system presents an augmented reality helmet with image stabilization that accepts instructions, and a drone responsible for transmitting the image to the operator.

The creators of the system refer to the fact that often people get serious injuries, far from medical institutions. In such a situation, the rendering of first aid falls on the shoulders of passers-by. In order not to aggravate the state of the victim, a competent approach is needed. The system guarantees this. Unlike the phone call, it provides more intuitive and understandable instructions.

So, the helmet transmits and receives images. The specialist imposes on the image in front of the person's eyes - on the victim's body - inscriptions, lines or medical instruments that need to be applied. In turn, the drone is located above both people and transmits to the operator's screen an image that allows to see the entire body of the patient, as well as the surrounding environment.
