Abstract :
Ambulance telemedicine systems are transforming emergency medical services by enabling real-time communication, remote specialist consultations, and continuous patient monitoring during transport. This systematic review evaluates the impact of advanced telemedicine systems on patient outcomes, focusing on diagnostic accuracy, early treatment initiation, and reduced response times. By synthesizing findings from recent studies, this review highlights the benefits of telemedicine in enhancing EMS efficiency, particularly in rural and underserved areas. It also identifies key barriers, such as connectivity issues and high implementation costs, while exploring future opportunities for integrating emerging technologies. The study underscores the importance of telemedicine as a critical tool for improving pre-hospital care and patient outcomes.
Keywords: Ambulance telemedicine, pre-hospital care, telehealth, emergency medical services, patient outcomes, diagnostic accuracy, remote monitoring, healthcare innovation, EMS technologies, telemedicine systems.
