Abstract
Wireless telemedicine is becoming an increasingly important part in providing a wide range of healthcare services for on‐scene paramedics carrying out emergency rescue. As far as the paramedics are concerned, any information related to diagnosis need to be made available for initial treatment. This chapter provides an in‐depth discussion on using Internet of Things (IoT) for emergency support by gathering information about the patient through analysis of medical images as well as data collected from a variety of biosensors. Using a case study of a 6G‐based telemedicine system for providing emergency support to an asthma sufferer, where it is known to be difficult to differentiate between asthma and other forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in an on‐scene setting, AI‐powered diagnosis is set to improve on both efficiency and accessibility. This chapter takes an in‐depth look into the use of IoT technology for the diagnosis and prognosis of COPD in supporting paramedics and the related IoT technologies when moving from 5G to 6G.
