In case of medical emergency situations, a Volunteer Notification System aims to alarm potential helpers who can arrive at the victim fast enough to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation until the professional EMS arrive on scene. A simplistic solution for selecting the corresponding volunteers is described by a so called notification radius, i.e., alarming any volunteer with a geographic location that is within a maximum distance from the victim. Whilst the actual geographical distance is an important parameter to be considered, this work will illustrate that various additional decision parameters are of importance, and elaborate an AI-driven volunteer selection system to increase the reliability and efficiency of occurring notifications.
