  • Abstract
    With the advent of disappearing, dexterous and disposable devices in bigger volumes, industries across sun-shining segments such as communication, home automation, healthcare, supply chain, logistics, defense, and manufacturing are bound to reach next-level of their operations, outputs and offerings. These simple, yet powerful devices, on proper utilization in the field of healthcare can save valuable lives. The devices are quick, accurate; reduce manual-labor and are error free. In this paper, the main concentration is on developing a Smart Ambulance system by using OSGi as the middleware, using an open-source tool called Knopflerfish. By using a set of sensors, and other applications that, in the background, do most of the lifesaving work in an ambulance, ranging from directing the driver through the path with the least traffic in a short span of time, taking into account the severity of the condition of the patient. Implementation is done by developing services, applications and devices capable of running these to the concerned user groups.
