General Overview
Ambulance response times and emergency call center triage procedures are two of the primary variables influencing the situations that ambulance services address. The optimization of ambulance fleet handling and the enhancement of a relevant department’s response times are the primary goals of this proposal. The exact placement of ambulances has a critical role in establishing how quickly an event is handled. The time that elapses between receiving an emergency call and the ambulance arriving at the scene is included in this response time. The evaluation of ambulance service providers is conducted by regulatory bodies and centers on their capacity to achieve and exceed these critical response times, which can vary based on local conditions and available resources (Van Barneveld et al., 2016). Cyprus is used as an example case study.
Project Objectives
Even with this effective system in place, there are still many problems with ambulance management in Cyprus today. These include things like the need for better ambulance personnel as well as efficient hospital-to-hospital communication and optimal route planning and rerouting procedures. These difficulties are shared by a number of other nations that face comparable financial, technological, and environmental difficulties. By adding Evolutionary Computation (EC) and AI-driven (data-driven) models on the optimization of dynamic systems and the integration of GIS technology, SmartPLAIGO aims to close the gaps, improve operations, and supplement the current system.
Our goal
Among the project’s goals is the creation of novel approaches to health services administration and digital health. Our goal is to improve healthcare management and decision-making processes by utilizing cutting-edge technology such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of things.
With the help of the State Health Services Organization’s Ambulance Department and its expertise in Emergency Health Care Support, as well as the successful collaboration and integration of the strengths of the ERATOSTHENES Centre of Excellence for Geographical Information Systems, the eHealth Lab at Cyprus University of Technology for electronic health systems, and STREMBLE Venture LTD as a successful SME in the eHealth market.
Our goal is to usher in a new era of effectiveness, responsiveness, and communication in the healthcare system, which will ultimately lead to better public health outcomes and overall life quality.
Our Values
The influence of SmartPLAIGO extends beyond its main goal of streamlining national emergency response in a number of ways. It guarantees that communities, whether they are found in rural or urban locations, have
