From Non‑Transport Care to AI‑Enabled Territorial Medicine
About this episode
The episode discusses the shift in EMS from prehospital transport to territorial medicine, exploring various challenges and the role of technology and AI.
JEMS Development Editor Mike Brown speaks with Dr. Simon Grosjean about shifting EMS from “prehospital transport” toward “territorial medicine.” They unpack alternative transport/non‑conveyance, physician response units, and why many low‑acuity calls may be better managed outside the ED. The conversation contrasts systems across Europe and the UK, highlights gaps in data collection, and exposes practical barriers—staff shortages, fractured clinical records, and reimbursement models—that stop promising approaches from scaling. They also explore where technology and AI can help: rapid chart summarization, context‑aware decision support, microlearning for clinicians, and automated handoffs to primary care.
