How can AI become a doctor's "third eye" in the golden four minutes at a rescue scene? — A report from the 21st Modern Rescue Medicine Conference

救援現場的黃金四分鐘,AI 如何成為醫生的「第三隻眼」? ——第 21 屆現代救援醫學大會側記

"Identifying the real amidst the interference and safeguarding precision amidst the chaos—this is the principle that AI-enabled AED emergency rescue technology must adhere to."
At the main forum of the 21st Modern Emergency Medicine Conference, Dr. Jing Wei, CEO of Primedic , aptly described the most profound contradiction at emergency scenes: the hope of life is often extinguished by noisy environments and difficult decision-making. For medical personnel using AEDs for emergency care, AI technology acts like a "third eye," helping to make accurate judgments, improve rescue efficiency, and maximize the protection of every opportunity to save a life.

Primedic 's iWAVE intelligent heart rhythm assessment algorithm provides a breakthrough solution for the use of AEDs at emergency scenes : even under the interference of compression operations, AI can still accurately "hear" the true heartbeat of the patient, improving the accuracy and efficiency of emergency judgment.

AI Breakthrough: An Intelligent Brain That Can "Resist Interference"

The core value of the iWAVE algorithm lies in becoming the most reliable "co-pilot" for emergency medical personnel, assisting in the use of AED machines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ).

Its most prominent feature is "dynamic noise reduction" —just like being able to hear your friends clearly in a noisy market, iWAVE can accurately capture the patient's true heart signals even under strong interference from continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ) operations, enabling the AED machine to achieve "uninterrupted compressions and simultaneous analysis" during emergency rescue , greatly improving the efficiency of CPR and the success rate of emergency rescue.

Meanwhile, the iWAVE algorithm, trained on massive amounts of real emergency data, boasts a 99.5% specificity for identifying non-shockable heart rhythms. For healthcare professionals using AEDs for cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ), this is equivalent to establishing a "safety firewall" for every shock decision, minimizing the risk of accidental shocks, ensuring patient safety, and improving emergency response efficiency and success rates.

The conference resonated with the theme: From "single-point breakthrough" to "system support," creating a comprehensive AED emergency and CPR solution.

The theme of this conference, "Technology Empowerment," means that technology is not about showing off skills, but about solving systemic emergency problems.

iWAVE 's value extends far beyond just an algorithm. When embedded in AED machines and defibrillator monitoring equipment, it means that patients can receive continuous, stable, and accurate heart rhythm assessments from pre-hospital emergency care to in-hospital ICU care . At the emergency scene, whether performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ) or using an AED for defibrillation, this system ensures a smooth rescue process, truly building the "seamless life-saving chain" advocated by the conference .

Conclusion
The value of a conference lies in whether it fosters consensus within the field of emergency medical services. As more than 3,000 emergency medical service professionals gathered in Changsha to discuss future development, a clear trend emerged: rescue technology is moving from simply "functional implementation" to "intelligent decision-making."

The ultimate goal of technologies like iWAVE may be to free medical staff from the either-or choices when using AED machines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ) or emergency procedures, allowing them to focus more on completing the life-saving task and improving the success rate of each emergency and patient safety.
