Smart ambulances could help save more lives
It is likely that most people should depend on the attention of an ambulance from time to time throughout their lives. But in many places, unfortunately it is not as simple as calling an ambulance and letting do your job. In some parts of Ecuador, for example, an ambulance can take up to eight minutes or much more to reach a potentially deadly situation, which is lower than the figure in many European places. But there is help available for public services in conflict like these. From large distances to a bottleneck in data flow, there are many obstacles that an intelligent ambulance can overcome.
Why an intelligent ambulance is required
Let’s take the example of a city with a large suburban population: there may be a specialized hospital in the city center and it could take a long time to navigate traffic and get the patient to receive care as soon as possible. An intelligent ambulance could make a difference.
Ambulance designers are responding to these types of problems with great ideas: the arrival of an intelligent ambulance prototype in Australia and New Zealand in 2016 was well received in this regard, since it contained fluid communication functions that allowed paramedics to communicateWith hospital caregivers and prepare yourself well for the patient’s arrival.
Other features include intelligent mechanical tools designed to identify ambulance engine problems immediately, as well as intelligent refueling systems that use mobile natural resources to avoid running out of fuel in situations of time pressure.
Improving data functions
Smart technology works with network connectivity, of course, but its vital element is the data. For an emergency caregiver, it is easy to see why data functions that allow a precise and instantaneous information flow can easily improve patient results and make clinical decisions more quickly.
When the treatment begins in the place of an accident, for example, a photograph taken on a specially designated device can be linked through the cloud to paramedics who remain in the ambulance.
This can then be shared with hospital caregivers in shifts and, later, with the patient’s permission, with research organizations and other organizations. With a traditional non -intelligent ambulance, the architecture required to do this is often too complicated, but with a simple and easily accessible smart interface, it can easily become a second nature.
Smart ambulances can change the way emergency services from around the world respond to threats and problems. From the flow of mutual and bidirectional data, which provide the potential they offer to create a more efficient and fluid transition from the paramedic to the hospital, there are many advantages for these innovative vehicles.
