The Impact of Technological Systems on Initial Medical Interventions for Reducing Mortality Rates in Toll Road Traffic Accidents: Literature Review
Abstract
With the increasing incidence of toll road accidents, this review investigates the role of technological advancements in enhancing early medical interventions to reduce mortality rates. The focus is on understanding how these interventions contribute to timely and efficient medical care post-accidents. The primary objectives are to evaluate the extent to which technological integration in early medical interventions impacts mortality rates in toll road accidents, to analyze the perceptions and experiences of frontline responders and medical professionals towards tech-assisted interventions, and to assess the potential of Tech-Driven Medical Intervention (TDMI) as a guiding framework for future interventions, policies, and research in emergency medical care. The review was conducted using a systematic approach, employing databases like PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search strategy included terms like "technology in emergency response" and "digital aid in accidents." Studies were rigorously screened, and their quality assessed using tools like CASP and MMAT. Risk of bias was evaluated, and data interpretation methods were standardized to ensure robust findings. The search yielded 43 relevant studies, involving various participant numbers. The primary outcomes focused on response times, mortality rates, and overall efficiency of interventions. For meta-analysis, effect sizes were calculated to quantify the impact of technological interventions. The review concludes that while technological advancements show promise in improving early medical responses in toll road accidents, challenges in implementation and integration persist. A holistic approach, blending technology with existing medical practices, is recommended for maximizing the potential benefits of these interventions.
