Abstract
The efficient management of emergency medical services in Medical Emergency Command Centers (MECC) is critical, and optimizing resource allocation is a key aspect of this management. However, with the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) applications in healthcare, optimizing resource allocation has become more challenging. To address this challenge, we propose a task offloading-based approach that involves distributing computational tasks across different resources in a network to optimize resource utilization. Our approach involves analyzing the MECC network topology to identify available computing resources such as edge devices, cloud servers, and data centers. We then develop a task offloading strategy that determines which tasks should be offloaded to which resources based on computational requirements, network latency, and resource availability. Additionally, we implement a resource allocation algorithm that allocates resources to tasks based on their priority, resource availability, and current workload. We continuously monitor the system's performance and fine-tune the resource allocation algorithm to optimize resource utilization and reduce response time. Our experimental results demonstrate that our approach can significantly improve the efficiency of resource allocation in MECC for AI and DL applications, resulting in faster response times and better patient care.
