The Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) in Victoria, Australia has decided to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help
Triple Zero call takers (000) identify the incidence of a heart attack on the phone without wasting much time.
According to Health Minister Jenny Mikakos, the state government’s coffers will grant $1.36m to Ambulance Victoria for designing and implementing the Cardiac Arrest Project in collaboration with Monash University.

Furthermore, an additional $350,000 will be given to Ambulance Victoria from the safer care Victoria innovation fund to start offering SMS and video calling facility under the project Tele-HELP for mental health-related emergency callers.
As per the details shared by the ministry, the AI technology will run in the background all the time and monitor every incoming emergency call to identify similar patterns of sound, keywords, and language for detecting cardiac arrest symptoms.
The government states that the system will instantly alert the ESTA triple zero call takers after which a high-priority ambulance will be dispatched and “talk bystanders through CPR or defibrillation.”

Through this project, the government aims to save 185 more lives per year. In incidents involving heart attacks “every second counts,” Mikakos explained, and AI will help paramedics provide medical help quickly to reduce the likelihood of brain damage and death.

In the letter, the signatories - which include tech justice NGO Foxglove and digital rights campaigners Access Now - say the proposed app could be another step towards a surveillance state. Campaign groups have written an open letter to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson warning GCHQ and its digital arm, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), will have the capacity to re-identify the phones of people who install the country’s coronavirus contact-tracing app. They also note the legal framework underpinning the software, which is currently being trialled on the Isle of Wight, is believed to be inadequate to protect people from misuse of their data by the Joint Committee on Human Rights. “Parliament has to quickly issue an adequate legal framework that guarantees users’ human rights protection.
