Popis: The unprecedented global shift towards cities is drastically changing the urban environment. With the aim to mitigate the problems that these changes may introduce , cities are gradually being transformed into the so-called “Smart Cities”. This transformation involves the deployment of numerous sensors and communication infrastructures that are used to provide better management and resource allocation. Recently, the concept of smart health (s-health) was proposed in order to bridge healthcare services with Smart Cities' infrastructures and offer novel services to the cities and their citizens. In this article we propose a new s-Health embodiment for emergency response systems in urban and sub-urban environments.
