ObjectiveTo explore the application and advantages of 5G technology in aeromedical rescue.MethodsThrough the analysis of 11 rescue cases, especially two cases of 5G rescus cases, such as remote video consultation, 5G module equipment, vital signs data return, and Beidou high‐precision positioning.Results5G technology significantly optimizes the rescue process, enabling real‐time monitoring, low‐airspace 5G private network coverage, advanced equipment support, collaborative operations, and seamless information connection. Its high‐speed network transmission and high‐precision positioning capabilities have promoted the development of aerial body area network disease perception technology and 5G ground–ground collaborative rapid diagnosis and treatment technology, making telemedicine more convenient, safe, and scalable.Conclusion5G technology has great potential and promotion value in the field of aeromedical rescue.

“…The research claims that with this technology, emergency vehicles are less congested and arrive at their destinations faster ( Girish et al, 2020). Fong et al (2018) proposed a smart ambulance system that consists of a network of connected medical devices, sensors, and wearable assistive devices worn by paramedics, as well as consumer health devices worn by patients. An IoT platform acts as a link between paramedics and patients, as well as the hospital network, providing assistance ranging from patient medical history retrieval to receiving remote support for on-scene treatment.…”

“…An IoT platform acts as a link between paramedics and patients, as well as the hospital network, providing assistance ranging from patient medical history retrieval to receiving remote support for on-scene treatment. It mentioned that wearable sensors are critical components of an IoT ecosystem that allows for continuous monitoring of a patient's health, giving paramedics a far more complete image of the patient than standard emergency medical techniques can provide (Fong et al, 2018).…”

Due to the increase in the world’s population which increased road congestion, the ambulances that carry patients have so many difficulties in getting to the hospital before the patient’s condition gets worse. The problem of the delayed arrival of the patient to the hospital was found globally in most countries. Especially in Libya, the problem is more complex, the ambulance services are weak, patients face problems in getting fresh blood packages, and the health system lacks an electronic health record. In this paper, a descriptive comparison is conducted to evaluate, compare, and analyze different proposed solutions. Then, a new different solution is proposed. To check the feasibility of the newly proposed solution, a survey was conducted to review the audience’s level of satisfaction with the traditional ambulance services, as well as the proposed solution, the results showed the people’s lack of trust in the current ambulance services, and their reluctance to rely on the service. However, the results also revealed the people’s acceptance of the proposed solution, and their willingness to rely on it.

“…Accordingly, developing new and improving existing IoT systems and services for enhancing the emergency and disaster medicine and management practice must be based on telemedicine (as the main component of smart healthcare). The IoT-based telemedicine allows providing the on-scene healthcare practitioners (EMTs, paramedics, nurses, and physicians) with distant added-value expertise [91]. Firstly, the patient's historical data is accessible online (e.g., on a smartphone or a tablet) for supporting efficient initial diagnosis and treatment.…”

Social Media and the Internet of Things are nowadays full and strong components of day-to-day life worldwide. Both allow communicating with others 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without distance limitations. During the last decade, on-site citizens have shared disaster-related first reports on social media. Official institutions are using the same framework for delivering up-to-date and follow-up directives. Moreover, monitoring health risks, patients, and systems behavior in real-time over the Internet-of-Things allows detecting different levels of anomalies that might lead to critical events that need to be managed as an emergency. Emergency and disaster medicines deal with broad and complex medical, surgical, mental health, epidemiological, managerial, and communicational issues. Social Media platforms and the Internet of Things are technologies that increase cyber-physical interactions between individuals, machines, and their environment. The generated data over time are massive and are supporting the emergency or disaster mitigation process. This chapter deals with, in the first section, the social media platforms, and the Internet of Things. Then, at a second one, the concepts of emergency, disaster medicine and management are discussed. In the following two sections, we discuss applications and usages of social media and IoT technologies for improving the management (preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation) of emergencies and disasters as fundamental keys and pillars for efficiently handling the managerial information flow in emergency and disaster contexts.
