Abstract

A wireless gateway, a system and a method supporting automatic call-for-help includes a wireless gateway which connects to a fixed line such as a fixed telephone. When a medical monitoring equipment detects an abnormal state of a patient, it notifies the wireless gateway. The wireless gateway then automatically dials the preset telephone number such as the number of an emergency center via the connected fixed line, or a mobile telephone in a short-range wireless connection to the wireless gateway automatically dials the number. Using the wireless gateway connected to a fixed telephone as location means solves the problem that existing location measures, like GPS, require high maintenance cost and cannot be used within buildings. In addition, the location information of a fixed telephone is accurate, which makes the present invention suitable for patient at home and in specific situations.
