Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de détection d'une situation dans laquelle une personne (2) qui est localisée dans un véhicule (1) souffre d'une urgence médicale et de fourniture de mesures d'aide. Le procédé selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'une unité informatique (4) examine des données vitales (5) concernant des écarts de valeurs standards prédéfinies et, dans le cas où un écart est identifié, entraîne la délivrance d'une alerte (102) dans le véhicule (1), l'unité informatique (4) établissant un lien de communications (104) vers un secouriste (8) externe au véhicule à l'aide d'une unité de télécommunications (7) et autorise le secouriste (8) à accéder à au moins une partie des données vitales (5) et à accéder à la commande des fonctions du véhicule, l'unité informatique (4) activant un microphone et un haut-parleur aux fins d'établir un lien de communications (104) verbal bidirectionnel entre les occupants du véhicule (6) et le secouriste (8) et une caméra, qui capture au moins une partie de l'intérieur d'un véhicule, aux fins de transférer des images photographiques au secouriste (8), moyennant quoi le secouriste (8) est placé en position de pouvoir parler aux occupants du véhicule (6), pour examiner visuellement la personne (2) et pour proposer des mesures appropriées d'aide à la personne (2) sur la base d'un résultat d'examen, le secouriste (8) commandant au moins une fonction du véhicule afin de faciliter l'examen et/ou d'accompagner la personne (2).
