Abstract

The large numbers of sick children in different diseases are very dreaded, and when there isn't succor at the proper time and in the type the sick child need it that makes us lose child. This paper suggested an emergency system for succoring sick child locally when he required that, and there isn't someone knows his disease. The proposed system is the first tracking system works online (24 hour in the day) but only when the sick children requiring the help using mobile GIS. In, this emergency system the child will send SMS (for easy he click one button) contains his ID and coordinates (Longitude and Latitude) via GPRS network to the web server (the child was registered previously on that server), in this step the server will locate the sick child on Google map and retrieve the child's information from the database which saved this information in registration stage, and base on these information will send succoring facility and at the same time informing the hospital, his parents, doctor, etc. about that emergency case of the child using the SMS mode through GPRS network again. The design and implement of the proposed system shows more effective cost than other systems because it used a minimum configuration (hardware and software) and works in economic mode.
