Computers, Big Data, and Ambulance Response Time

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

The discussion is about creating computer models to analyze real-world scenarios. In this episode, the guests talk about how computers can be used to decrease ambulance response time. What the city found, using data modeling was that ambulances could be much more efficient by placing them in high use areas.

The host is Dr. E. S. Savas, and the guests include Gene Clemens, Richard Koo, and Lee Buchholz.
