VITOCHRON: A SMART WEARABLE FOR OPTIMIZED DEXAMETHASONE ADMINISTRATION IN HIGH-ALTITUDE RESCUE AND SURVIVAL

Abstract

The invention of Vitochron is a significant leap in wearable technology, specifically designed for military personnel and mountaineers operating in high-altitude environments. Its primary function is to monitor vital signs and environmental conditions to determine the optimal time for administering Dexamethasone, a life-saving medication crucial for combating High-Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) and High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE). Vitochron ensures that limited medical supplies are used efficiently by alerting the user precisely when the medication is needed. The device’s real-time monitoring system and optimized dosing feature prevent the dangerous side effects of overuse and ensure the patient remains stable by stretching limited doses over time. With advanced functions such as environmental sensing, symptom-based alerts, and integration with rescue systems, Vitochron is a game-changer for soldiers and climbers facing life-threatening situations in harsh conditions.

Specification

Description:In high-altitude conditions, soldiers and mountaineers often face extreme environmental challenges, including cold temperatures, low oxygen levels, and severe altitude sickness. Altitude-related illnesses such as High-Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) and High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) can be fatal if not treated properly and on time. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid medication, is commonly used to prevent and treat these life-threatening conditions. However, its administration must be carefully monitored, as frequent or improper dosing can result in serious side effects like immune suppression, mental confusion, and increased blood sugar. Conversely, underuse can lead to rapid worsening of symptoms, potentially leading to fatal outcomes. For military personnel stationed at high altitudes or trapped in remote, ice-cold caves with limited supplies, the optimal use of Dexamethasone is critical for survival. Vitochron addresses this need by offering an intelligent, wearable solution that monitors vital signs and environmental conditions in real time to provide alerts for when the next dose of Dexamethasone should be taken. The device not only ensures that users do not run out of medication prematurely but also minimizes the risk of side effects from overuse, providing a crucial survival tool for extreme situations. , Claims:Claims
1. Wearable Device for Optimized Medication Administration
The Vitochron is a wearable device that monitors a user's physiological data and environmental conditions to provide real-time alerts for the optimal administration of Dexamethasone in high-altitude environments, helping to prevent the overuse or underuse of the medication.
2. Vital Sign Monitoring System
The device comprises sensors that continuously track critical physiological data such as oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, respiration rate, and body temperature to predict and detect symptoms of high-altitude sickness like HACE and HAPE.
