Predictions in Pre-Hospital Emergency Transport in France: A State of the Art

Abstract

For a number of years now, the regional fire department centers have been recording their interventions numerically. Such databases are under- utilized and are mainly used for statistical andmanagement purposes. However, such a history of interventions can be very useful, if used in conjunction with artificial intelligence algorithms, for predictive purposes. Such work has recently been done in France through a series of articles investigatingthe various aspects of the problem, and has been put into production at the Doubs center. The objective of this review is to take stock of all the workthat has been done so far, to list the successes andthe stumbling blocks, and to draw up a roadmap on this theme for the years to come.
