Examples such as pre-hospital electrocardiogram transmission and remote monitoring using non-invasive and invasive devices have shown to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce treatment delays, and improve outcomes.

Increasingly, the integration of artificial intelligence offers unprecedented opportunities for diagnostic precision, predictive analytics, and personalized care yet requires rigorous validation and ethical considerations.
