Technological integration in Indian emergency medical care

Overview

India is seeing an integration of advanced telecommunications and technology within its emergency medical services. Healthcare providers in cities such as Bangalore and Chennai have begun deploying 5G-enabled ambulances. These vehicles utilize IoT-based monitoring systems and telemetry devices to transmit real-time patient data, including vital signs like oxygen saturation and heart rate, to hospital clinicians during transit. This connectivity is intended to optimize the ‘Golden Hour’ by allowing doctors to provide remote guidance to paramedics.

In support of this technological shift, healthtech startups are expanding their infrastructure. Medulance, a provider of tech-enabled ambulance services using GPS and 5G technology, recently secured Rs 24 crore in Series A-2 funding. The company plans to use the investment to grow its emergency response network and technology platform across India.
