The National Institute for Emergency Medicine (NIEM), which operates the hotline, organised the conference and addressed EMS System Technology Innovation during the event. “For example, technologies can allow real-time communication among those involved in the delivery of medical services for emergency patients,” he said. Kitti Wongthawornwarat, who heads the innovation and health information team at Nectec, said now an innovative operation information system was being experimented in Ubon Ratchathani province to facilitate emergency-medicine services. This system covers the centre receiving reports of emergency cases, hospitals, and vehicles dispatched to patients. Teerawat Issariyakul, a manager for information technology safety and standards at TOT Public Co Ltd, said while technology could be very useful, it was important for all parties involved to promote and uphold the safety of Internet of Medical Things too.
