Continuum of Care Explained

Connected healthcare links patient monitoring at home, community clinics, ambulances and hospitals into one data flow. Smart ambulances serve as a mobile node that both receives upstream data and transmits critical events downstream.

Use Cases

• Chronic disease flare-ups: Remote monitoring triggers ambulance dispatch with preloaded patient history.
• Post-operative complications: Home monitoring detects deterioration so ambulance teams intervene quickly.
• Mass casualty triage: Ambulances upload triage data to command centers for resource coordination.

Integration Best Practices

1. Standardise data formats to ensure EMTs, hospitals and remote monitoring platforms can exchange information.
2. Ensure seamless ABDM compatibility for patient records and consent management.
3. Use certified devices proven for mobile-health environments.
