Speaking to ILTV News, Maisel said that by analyzing 18 years of data, the AI positions ambulances, medicycles, and volunteers closer to potential emergencies, significantly reducing response times to under 90 seconds.
Faced with the challenge of over 7,000 volunteers being drafted during national crises, United Hatzalah collaborated with AI experts and volunteers to develop this system. EMTs have reported that the tool allows responders to save more lives and optimize their shifts.
