Through powerful 5G network connectivity, high-bandwidth video from the ambulance and crucial patient information is transmitted in real-time to the Department of Emergency Medicine at KIMSHEALTH. This advancement facilitates immediate ECG monitoring and seamless two-way video consultations between paramedics and on-call emergency medicine specialists.
Once an ambulance is dispatched, patients or their kin will receive a tracking link to monitor its real-time location. This feature allows them to view the precise location, along with the driver’s name and photo, vehicle registration number, and estimated time of arrival. Updates on the patient’s health condition will also be accessible to family members via the patient portal.
The Department of Emergency Medicine will feature a dashboard displaying real-time GPS data, speed, and the ambulance’s current position. Critical health indicators like heart rate, oxygen saturation, non-invasive blood pressure, and end-tidal CO₂ will appear on a centralised monitor within the department.
The upgraded ambulance also features a portable ECMO system and battery-operated mechanical chest compression devices, which can be utilised as needed. The mechanical chest compression system delivers continuous compressions automatically, enhancing the efficiency of resuscitation efforts.
Dr M.I. Sahadulla, Chairman and Managing Director of KIMSHEALTH, inaugurated the ambulance at an event held at the hospital. In his inaugural address, 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.
This ambulance service will be free of charge within Thiruvananthapuram city limits.
