## [Introduction] First Aid Decision Engine: AI Empowers Non-Professionals in Emergency Rescue

This project addresses the pain point that non-professionals lack systematic first aid capabilities in emergency medical scenarios. It builds a deterministic OpenEnv-compatible reinforcement learning environment for training and evaluating AI agents. The environment simulates step-by-step decision-making processes in emergency scenarios such as cardiac arrest and severe bleeding, trains strategies via tabular Q-learning, and aims to guide non-professionals to perform correct first aid operations, filling the golden rescue gap before professional help arrives.

## Project Background: Real-World Challenges of Non-Professional First Aid

In emergency medical scenarios, the golden rescue time is only a few minutes, so on-site response before professional help arrives is crucial. However, most ordinary people lack systematic first aid training and often feel at a loss or make wrong operations when facing cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, etc. This project aims to address this social need through an AI decision support system, building a reinforcement learning environment to train agents that guide non-professionals in correct handling.

## Environment Design: Core Features Close to Real First Aid

The environment simulates real first aid processes, with core features including:
1. **Step-by-Step Reasoning**: First aid operations must follow strict sequences (e.g., confirm breathing before CPR);
2. **Delayed Consequences**: Delays or wrong operations result in negative rewards;
3. **Partial Observability**: Key information (e.g., pulse) needs to be actively assessed and obtained.
The action space includes 12 first aid operations (such as CALL_EMERGENCY, START_CPR, etc.), and observation information is designed to be partially visible to simulate the process of gradual information collection in real scenarios.

## Reward Mechanism and RL Agent Implementation

The environment uses a dense reward mechanism:
- **Positive Rewards**: Correct operations, reasonable sequences, stable patient conditions, etc.;
- **Negative Rewards**: Repeated operations, delayed interventions, unsafe behaviors, etc.;
- **Final Rewards**: Rewards or penalties based on overall performance.
The agent is implemented based on tabular Q-learning, learning only through environment interaction. It uses deterministic state encoding to ensure reproducibility, and the trained strategy can be persisted as a JSON file.

## Typical Scenarios and Optimal First Aid Strategies

Three typical scenarios and optimal operation sequences are predefined:
1. **Airport Cardiac Arrest**: CALL_EMERGENCY → CHECK_BREATHING → START_CPR → USE_AED → MONITOR_PATIENT;
2. **Severe Bleeding in Kitchen**: CHECK_SCENE_SAFETY → CALL_EMERGENCY → APPLY_PRESSURE → CHECK_PULSE → MONITOR_PATIENT;
3. **Traffic Accident with Multiple Injuries**: CHECK_SCENE_SAFETY → CALL_EMERGENCY → APPLY_PRESSURE → CHECK_BREATHING → CONTROL_AIRWAY → CHECK_PULSE → MONITOR_PATIENT.
The scenarios increase in difficulty, comprehensively testing the agent's decision-making ability.

## Technical Deployment and Evaluation Verification Standards

The project uses FastAPI to build a web service, providing RESTful APIs and a React front-end interface, and supports Docker containerized deployment. Evaluation verification points include: successful Docker build, valid JSON returned by interfaces, complete task list, Q-table generated by training scripts, inference scripts completed on time, etc., to ensure the system is stable and reproducible.

## Application Prospects: Value Transformation from Research to Actual Rescue

This project is not only an RL research platform but also has practical application potential:
- **Training System**: Used for first aid simulation training;
- **Decision Support**: Integrated into first aid apps to guide non-professionals;
- **Research Platform**: Test the performance of different AI algorithms in high-risk scenarios.
Through reinforcement learning technology, it is expected to develop an intelligent decision-making assistant that saves lives at critical moments.
