## Abstract

In the past decade, Emergency Medical Services have been associated with innovations in technology; the 911 telephone system and two-way radio have developed the notification, scheduling, and response processes. The recent twenty years have witnessed the unparalleled innovation changes of the computer framework. These new frameworks in mobile, social, cloud computing or big data concentrations essentially affect the entire society. In the last ten years, major innovation and strategic improvements have occurred, which will affect the concepts and communication methods of Emergency Medical Service in the future. Emergency Medical Service can treat various diseases in the correct way. For example, Emergency Medical Service personnel's early recognition of stroke performance is an important ideal consideration for patients with stroke patients. Pre-stroke screening tools that have been preliminarily evaluated for sensitivity and specificity are necessary to improve detection rates for the pre-court stroke by Emergency Medical Service experts. This is an excellent time for Emergency Medical Service to play a key role in achieving and transcending vision. The motivation behind this article is to provide extensive investigations and unique opportunities for Emergency Medical Service personnel groups to solve how to improve.
