A crowd sourced framework for neighbour assisted medical emergency system

An emergency can possess an immediate risk to life and may require urgent intervention to prevent or mitigate the further causalities. However, the level of mitigation depends on the response to address an emergency. The current practice of emergency frameworks includes different medical teams to improve the response time. In some cases, it is possible to achieve a reasonable performance with an additional cost. Hence it is necessary to develop a comprehensive response framework which can reduce both response time and operating cost of the emergency medical services. This study revealed that in today's connected society through different technologies, the power of crowd sourcing can be utilised to reduce the emergency response time as well as minimise the emergency medical operational cost. This study also discussed an escalation process based on the level of medical emergency. Integration of neighbours within the emergency response framework is the most novel framework studies in this field.
