DESCRIPTION
This presentation shows the work which me a two team mates did within a one week brief. The subject matter was the organic city and finding ways we can use the city to create a more functional and effective system which would benefit cities around the world. Our choice was to focus on Health and Transport and designed a new system which incorporates these two aspects into potentially a more productive form of healthcare in major cities. We mind mapped, researched and developed a system to construct a final concept. Tram rails and hospital care would be used to create a range of different services such as: 1) Hospital trams - Uses Tram rails to avoid and gain priority over traffic Transport patients much faster Cut out sharp street corners and bumps in the road for smoother journeys 2) Medical campuses - Transport medical supplies more efficiently across cities to different medical campuses Allow more areas for immediate medical attention 3) Patient Monitors - Allow faster medical attention to patients under caution. This system would aim to be implemented in medium sized cities already with a tram line such as Manchester (UK). With more success it could mean that new cities being built could implement this tram oriented healthcare and the economy could be layed out around it so that the systems healthcare can be given priority over other forms of transport in the city making the system much more efficient. In the future it could also evolve to be implemented in all cities around the world once it has been proven to work and would mean that a more thriving healthcare can me developed on a global scale creating better service for everyone.

How could distributed mobile healthcare networks change future city?
Urbanism• What is the context for the project/What is
involved with your idea e.g. health, mobility, cities.
Today, almost half of the global population lives in the cities - a drastic contrast to the last century when some 90 percent lived in smaller settlements. Due largely to the development of economy and technology driven the trend of urbanism, there are more societal problem facing people. Particularly, the traffic problem and unequitable resource distribution .

call 120 immediately emergency service
set out
arrival and pick up patients
No ambulance car in service，you have to wait
waiting 15-20 mins
40 minutes to delivery the patient
3 kilometers
the problems ...
- Medical Resource DistributionEvery 50 thousand people aredistributed 1 ambulance carand 5 cariers. 50 thousand 1 5
= +

- City CongestionNormally, In the situation of smooth traffic flow,it will cost emergency center 15 to 20 mins to get there. However, patients always have to wait for a long time. and the main reason why emergency service late is congestion.
Current alarm response healthcare
• Ambulance services have to respond to 75% of category A calls within eight minutes. The data shows that the median is less than that.

- Reponseanother factor conneted with emergency response timeis individuals' own knowlegement of first aid.
Individual - patients
Community - clinics, traffic, information
City level - a combined network
3 levels
Individually – connector
connectorHow can a patient inform his/her health condition to hospital
Current alarm systems
• Weight: Feel heavy on the users hand
• Volume: large so are not comfortable
• How to use: They require the user to push them when
they are in an emergency situation and they may not
have the capabilities to do this
Our suggestion - Wristband• Strong information link/ Navigation/
Prediction: constantly body-check and linked to the information system .We will automatically know who and where you are, and whether to inform your chosen contacts or the emergency services
• Work hours: Emergency response centre open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
(maintaining time: On-site maintenance available within 48 hours)
• *Market promotion: Save money if you buy online and Self-Connect / or supported by the government
What we need to know to better support wristband?
1. The technology criteria (e.g. the body-check process, how small it can be made?)
- Look into potential technologies
2. The ergonomic factors- Make prototypes and test with different patients (age, gender)
3. The patients demands (e.g. emotional demands, special needs)- By questionnaire, interview
02 using the tram system
How can people be sent to hospital faster?
02 using the tram system
• The current tram system can be a part of the system
• The tram is specialize -Carrier a small ambulance- Medical facilities would be fit in the tram.

Trams to the user
• Our system will run at an average speed of 70km/h so it will be able to run faster than current healthcare services
• It will be more reliable than other forms of transport. as it can avoid traffic and reach its destination in better time.
• Our emergency journeys will be smoother than other forms of transport so medical staff can interact more carefully and securely with a patient.
• It will be much more energy effective than current healthcare services
• Provide a higher capacity for inventory than ambulances
Potential healthcare mobility in future cities
• How big the city is and the scale of implementing the system,• What kind of city would be best to use• Would we build the city around the transport or the transport around the city and why?• Will there be other more convenient forms of transport in the future that could be based
around our design?
What we need to know to better support the tram system design?
1. The technology criteria (for example: what necessary facilities should be included in the tram, what kind of technologies can make the tram better fit the city )
- Look into potential technologies
2. The ergonomic factors (how big should the tram be? )- Make prototypes and test with different patients (age, gender)
3. The patients demands (what exactly are needed when patient in emergency)- By questionnaire, interview, data from hospital
City LevelA combination of clinic, traffic, information
•Alarm system
•Using the existing tram system
•A network of clinics
•A network of shared information
(individual- clinics- hospitals- traffic)

What we need to know in the city scale
1. the relationship between healthcare and transport provision in today’s cities
2. The relationship among traffic performance, vehicles and the
healthcare points in the city.
3. what is the scale of distribution networks to support the need of citizens in the future
What we need to know in the city scale
1. the relationship between healthcare and transport provision in today’s cities
-collect data from hospital about the comment of emergency help by patients
- Interview patients to know their anticipation.
-Interview ambulance drivers to find the advantages, disadvantages of transporting people or supplies in
the city.
- Interview Nurses and Doctors to find out the inventory issues in different hospitals and try to find out
issues relating to emergencies in the city and how they would cope with major disasters, which affected
lots of people.
What we need to know in the city scale
2. The relationship among traffic performance, vehicles and the healthcare points in the city.
3. The scale of distribution networks to support the need of citizens in the future
-map the healthcare points in the city
-Testing the system/Observation: Ride in the ambulance on an emergency run. calculate the time needed from
different places to different clinics by different vehicles.
- Collect data of frequency of emergency calling from hospitals.
-investigate the financial capacity from related organizations
-Secondary research: ‘Future transport in cities’ (Richards 2001)
Potential Risks
1. The funding
2. The ethical problems (private detailed from patients, staffs of healthcare system)
