flag Maine's Hermon fire department uses AI in ambulances to accurately measure patient weight for safer, more precise medication dosing.

flag The Hermon, Maine fire department has become the first in the state to use artificial intelligence in its ambulances, deploying a system that accurately calculates patient weight without estimation. flag This helps ensure precise medication dosing during emergencies, reducing errors that can occur when patients can't communicate. flag Previously, EMTs relied on visual guesses, which could lead to incorrect dosages. flag The AI tool, costing about $10,000, provides real-time weight data, improving treatment accuracy and potentially saving lives. flag The department calls the upgrade invaluable, highlighting a growing use of AI in life-critical medical care.
