Künstliche Intelligenz in der Notfallmedizin

Abstract

Emergency medicine is facing increasing logistical pressure due to rising case numbers, demographic change, staff shortages, the ongoing hospital reform and new threat scenarios such as pandemics or infrastructure failures. While artificial intelligence (AI) in anesthesiology and intensive care mainly supports diagnostic and prognostic tasks, its main potential in emergency medicine lies in improving logistics. Efficient coordination of transport decisions, real-time knowledge of treatment capacities and predictive resource allocation can directly influence response times and patient outcomes.This article focuses on the role of data-driven systems in emergency medical logistics. Using practical examples and current research projects, it illustrates how digital tools can support dispatch decisions, optimize patient transfers and improve system-wide coordination. The simulation model SCATTER is presented as an example of how structural, process and patient data can be combined to analyze transfer strategies and evaluate their system effects. In addition, the concept of a National Control Centre is discussed as a future platform to integrate real-time information, simulation results and decision support.In conclusion, AI in emergency medicine should be understood primarily as a tool for strengthening logistics and system resilience. Its effectiveness depends largely on the availability of reliable, interoperable data and on the integration of digital platforms across institutional boundaries.
