- The health emergency accelerated the adoption of Artificial Intelligence with a variety of public and private uses.
- The greatest benefit of this tool is that it allows the analysis of large amounts of data in a few seconds.
- The 9-1-1 emergency number has managed more than 150 million annual geolocations in real time in Mexico.
In recent times it has become common to hear the term Artificial intelligence. Until not long ago it seemed like an exclusive theme for science fiction movies, but today it is a reality. It is immersed in various fields and the benefits it offers are many, but in this case we are going to focus on the health part.
What does it consist of?
To begin with, it has several meanings and each one varies with respect to its field of application. Within the medical environment it is understood as the technological tool that synthesizes and automates tasks that, in principle, are intellectual. Therefore, it allows the analysis of large amounts of information in seconds.
In this sense, there are already tools designed against high-mortality diseases such as breast cancer Based on the information of each person, it is possible to obtain an instant diagnosis of their risk. Before, weeks and even months were required to make a comparison with other cases.
The use of Artificial Intelligence by institutions and organizations has become crucial. To the extent that this innovation responds to or optimizes man-made solutions, the challenges of communities can be faced, such as risk situations, where the lives of human beings may be in danger.
In the case of Mexico, for a few years the emergency number 9-1-1 in 27 states of the country it has incorporated the use of this tool and machine learning to optimize its operations. Hand in hand with the Carbyne SaaS cloud-based platform, the 195 Emergency Call Centers (CALLE) in the country offer advanced solutions that improve care by providing operators with exact real-time geolocation of citizens, video call and two-way silent chat.
Results of its application in the medical field
This has helped reduce 9-1-1 response times by up to 50%, with effective, personal and immediate attention that guarantees the well-being of potential victims in an emergency. With the help of technologies such as Carbyne, 9-1-1 has managed more than 150 million annual geolocations in real time. This is more than in Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark combined, which makes Mexico the global leader in the use of this technology.
One of the cases that stands out the most in this dynamic is the use of geolocation technologies in mobile phones. In conjunction with Artificial Intelligence algorithms, today they detect the contacts of their owners with other possible positive cases. With this it is possible to immediately alert of said risk as well as send a support unit to its exact location if necessary. The 9-1-1 service relies on these new technologies to deal with cases in a timely manner, as is the case with the use of the Carbyne SaaS platform.
