Kerala: 1st AI-Integrated Smart Ambulance launched

Thiruvananthapuram, May 28 (UNI) A state-of-the-art, AI-integrated smart ambulance service equipped with cutting-edge technology, marking a new era in patient care, has been launched for the first time in Kerala. This innovative ambulance is equipped with key features such as 5G connectivity, real-time GPS tracking, driver visibility technologies, and ECMO/ECPR equipment. With this system, patients and their families can track the vehicle's live location. Moreover, emergency physicians can monitor critical health parameters of patients in real time and provide accurate treatment directives, making the system highly beneficial in emergency situations. Through powerful 5G network connectivity, high-bandwidth video from the ambulance and crucial patient information are transmitted in real time to the Department of Emergency Medicine at KIMSHEALTH, its Chairman Dr. M.I. Sahadulla, said while launching the new service on Tuesday. Dr. Sahadulla stated that this new initiative would set a benchmark in emergency medical care, ensuring that patients receive timely and efficient treatment. 'If care is administered effectively during the golden hour, the chances of saving patients and bringing them back to life are significantly higher,' he said. He added that such a system can enhance care even before the patient reaches the hospital. The Department of Emergency Medicine will feature a dashboard displaying real-time GPS data, speed, and the ambulance's current position. Critical health indicators such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, non-invasive blood pressure, and end-tidal CO₂ will be shown on a centralized monitor within the department. The upgraded ambulance also includes a portable ECMO system and battery-operated mechanical chest compression devices, which can be used when required. The mechanical chest compression system delivers continuous compressions automatically, enhancing the efficiency of resuscitation efforts. This ambulance service will be free of charge within Thiruvananthapuram city limits. For services, people can contact 9633009616. UNI DS ARN
