Emergency medical services today face increasing demands for rapid and reliable communication, remote monitoring of field operations, and efficient coordination between dispatch centers, emergency bases, and vehicles. A crucial prerequisite for meeting these challenges is the modernization of technological infrastructure – from camera systems and data transmission to centralized device management.
In response to the above challenges, we have contributed to the development of a concept aimed at creating a technological ecosystem for the modern and efficient operation of emergency medical services. The objective is to improve the interconnection of system components and ensure smooth transmission of video, audio, operational, and medical data in real time. The concept also includes the use of next-generation high-speed mobile connectivity, significantly enhancing the stability, capacity, and security of the entire platform.
The main components of the proposed concept include:
Modernization of camera systems
The deployment of new IP cameras with analytical functions at emergency bases will expand options for security monitoring and enable remote access to video feeds by the dispatch center.
Equipping ambulances and emergency response vehicles
Outfitting vehicles with situational overview cameras, 5G connectivity (including routers, antennas, and data plans), real-time wireless video transmission, body-worn camera mounts for emergencies, and portable mobile kits for deployment in the field.
Pilot testing of 5G-enabled body cameras
While body cameras have previously been used in emergency medical response, 5G connectivity now enables real-time video transmission directly from the scene for the first time. This significantly enhances their value in ensuring the safety of medical personnel, increases transparency of interventions, and facilitates incident documentation. Video is transmitted through the vehicle’s network connection and made available to the dispatch center and other authorized entities.
Dispatch center equipment
Equipping the central dispatch center with a new Video Management System (VMS), data storage, and client workstations for remote management and monitoring of camera devices.
Connecting core infrastructure elements to a high-speed network
Ensuring reliable data communication between bases, vehicles, and the dispatch center using routers with modern mobile connectivity. The goal is to increase communication stability and enable the transmission of data-intensive services such as video.
The proposed concept demonstrates how the use of smart technologies can enhance the safety, situational awareness, and overall efficiency of emergency medical services. It brings together modern devices, reliable data connections, centralized monitoring, and analytical tools. This creates a foundation for building additional elements of situational awareness for emergency response units and for effectively responding to current and future challenges.
