Overview
Background & policy context:
New generation emergency vehicles incorporate new technologies that are often underutilized by emergency services. New medical devices such as electrocardiograms are only partially "communicating" and appear to be produced without pre-integration in ambulances. The majority of information exchange between field emergency crews in ambulances and control centers are still made orally.
Objectives:
The "Connecting Ambulance" (AMBUCOM) project aimed at rethinking the concept of first emergency vehicles and define the ambulance of tomorrow. Its main objectives were
- to strengthen the exchange of data between field teams and emergency centers in order to improve and accelerate first aid victims;
- to change both physical and mechanical characteristics of the vehicle to reduce the harmful effects of transport on the victims.
