The "Digital Dispatch" Revolution
In 2026, South American urban centers have largely abandoned manual dispatching for AI-Powered Command Centers. Utilizing real-time data from traffic sensors and weather stations, these systems predict "accident hotspots" and proactively position ambulances to reduce response times.
Cities like Medellín and Santiago have integrated GIS-based tracking (Geographic Information Systems) into their public EMS apps. This allows citizens to track the exact location of an incoming ambulance on their smartphones—similar to a ride-sharing app—while providing first responders with the patient's precise GPS coordinates and basic medical history before arrival.
