This systematic review aimed to explore the potential benefits and challenges of telemedicine and mobile health (mHealth) in emergency medical services (EMS). A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify relevant studies, which were then evaluated for quality and synthesized to draw conclusions. The main results showed that telemedicine and mHealth offer significant potential to improve access to care, enhance patient management, and reduce costs in EMS. Challenges include infrastructure limitations, regulatory barriers, data privacy concerns, and technical limitations. Successful implementation requires collaboration, investment, and addressing these challenges. Future opportunities include improved triage, remote patient monitoring, and enhanced education and training. Conclusion: Telemedicine and mHealth have the potential to revolutionize EMS by providing timely care to patients in remote or underserved areas. By addressing the challenges and capitalizing on the opportunities, we can unlock the full potential of these technologies to improve patient outcomes and enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery.
