Catastrophic disaster event highlights the limitations of current communication technologies and emphasizes the need for a reliable and adaptive remote health monitoring network. The main purpose of such a network is to transfer a patient's health data to a nearby hospital or care provider for emergency treatments. Medical emergencies such as heart attacks, high/low blood pressure, and accidental recovery are all dependent on how quickly the patient receives medical attention. In India, a lack of medical attention at the time of trauma causes nearly 27% of deaths each year. Ambulances provide first assistance to injured people or patients in any situation, including traffic accidents, fires, and unexpected illnesses. Finding a seriously ill or injured individual, dispatching an ambulance with advanced life-saving equipment, and delivering medical treatment on the spot are all challenging tasks. With the advancement of pre-hospital emergency treatment technology and the evolution of first-aid situations in recent years, first-aid equipment has been continually updated. Ambulances are equipped with various emergency equipment, including a multifunction display screen, an electrocardiogram machine, cardiac first-aid instrument, respiratory machine, defibrillator, etc. [1].

The results were based on data source verification for 87 patients, which involved 42 data points in each dataset selected from the MTR-N (3,696 comparisons). In total, 79 (91%) cases were admitted directly from the trauma scene, and the 30-day mortality rate was 23% (n = 18). Patients’ mean age was 57 years, 68% of patients were men, and their mean ISS and NISS scores were 18.2 and 25.7, respectively. Patients were classified according to means of transportation, and 67.0%, 27.0%, and 6.0% were transported to hospital via a physician (ground or helicopter), paramedic ambulance, and private vehicle, respectively. In total, 203 injuries were coded. The proportions of relevant injuries (i.e. AIS ≥3) affecting the head, thorax, abdomen, extremities, and pelvic ring were 57.0%, 40.0%, 9.7%, and 12.3%, respectively.
Sensitivity stratification concept and hierarchical multi-objective optimisation for an ambulance with hydraulically interconnected suspension and stretcher-human body model

The Vehicle Suspension Travel (VST) and Tire Dynamic Force (TDF), representing stability of the paramedic and road holding of the ambulance vehicle respectively, are also defined as the optimisation objectives. They can be quantified in terms of the mean value of corresponding RMS values, which can be written as follows: where and are PSD responses of VST and TDF, respectively.
