Abstract:
A Volunteer Notification System (VNS) is a promising approach to integrate laypersons into emergency medical services (EMS). In case of a medical emergency, a VNS will alarm those potential helpers who can arrive on scene fast enough to provide the most urgent measures until the professional helpers arrive at the victim. Whereas the basic requirements and criteria of a VNS have been discussed in recent publications, this paper will focus on the actual volunteer selection process and the underlying concept of Prescient Profiling. By using concepts of artificial intelligence, the available data is processed in order to generate an abstract digital representation of a volunteer and further enhanced to produce individual user profiles. These profiles will enable predictions on future decisions and the identification of behavioral patterns within the pool of volunteers. The goal is to provide an efficient algorithm for determining a highly sophisticated set of relevant volunteers for an ongoing medical emergency.
