Abstract :
Advanced technology is revolutionizing ambulance services by enhancing efficiency, safety, and patient outcomes. This systematic review explores the role of innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI), telemedicine, Internet of Things (IoT), wearable devices, and GPS systems in transforming emergency medical services. By analyzing recent studies, this review highlights key advancements, including predictive analytics, real-time patient monitoring, and automated decision-making tools. The findings underscore the positive impact of these technologies on reducing response times, improving patient care, and optimizing resource allocation. However, challenges such as implementation barriers, high costs, and ethical concerns are also identified. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of current trends and emphasizes the need for further research, policy development, and investment in advanced technologies to address existing gaps and maximize their potential in ambulance services.
Keywords: Ambulance services, emergency medical services, advanced technology, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, IoT, wearable devices, GPS systems, healthcare innovation, patient outcomes.
