Abstract
This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation addresses the current landscape of next-generation emergency services and trends as part of Smart City deployments. Across Asia/Pacific, public safety agencies, such as city or state governments, are harnessing technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and artificial intelligence (AI) to deploy initiatives, such as flood detectors, disaster reduction cloud system, and fire detection sensors, to perform remote control and reduce the occurrence of natural disasters. Next-generation emergency services are proving to be increasingly effective in not only handling emergency healthcare scenarios but also sensing and predicting natural disasters, in which human intervention has immense limitations.
"Smart Cities are becoming more proactive rather than reactive, especially in terms of public emergency aspects in not only handling healthcare-related issues but also managing natural disasters. The coming years will see more technological adoption by the city or state agencies in effectively tackling citizen emergency services. 5G adoption, although at its initial stages and currently undergoing proof of concept (POC) on specific use cases, is set to play a critical role in meeting next-generation emergency services in the region," says Manoj Vallikkat, senior research manager, IDC Asia/Pacific Healthcare Insights.
