In the face of the growing number of crisis situations, such as natural disasters, mass casualties or pandemics, emergency medical services require increas¬ingly effective tools enabling quick and precise response. Drones support rescue operations by quickly transporting medicines, defibrillators and blood to hard-to-reach places and enable real-time monitoring of the situation. Artificial intelligence allows for the analysis of the patient’s medical data, supports clinical decision-making and optimises transport logistics and resource allocation. Telemedicine enables remote specialist consultations, sending test results and monitoring the patient’s condition before reaching the medical facility. Integration of these three technologies significantly increases the effectiveness of rescue operations, shortens the response time and improves the quality of the assistance provided. The limitations and challenges related to the implementa¬tion of these solutions were also discussed, such as technical problems, lack of system standardisation, regulatory issues and ethical and legal risks, especially in the context of AI. Despite these barriers, the combination of drones, artificial intelligence and telemedicine represents a significant step towards modern, automated and better coordinated rescue operations, contributing to reducing mortality and increasing the resilience of health systems.
