# Support innovation in emergency medical services

Many medical innovations are first tested in hospital, yet time-critical illness begins before arrival. New prehospital methods therefore need realistic, safe and scientifically controlled routes into evaluation.

## From idea to evidence

A responsible pathway includes a plausible hypothesis, technical and regulatory preparation, a study protocol, safety criteria, controlled evaluation, independent analysis and evidence-based decisions about the next step.

Ethical Saving advocates a product-neutral route for suitable new prehospital diagnostic and treatment methods. Patient safety, ethics, data protection and reliable evidence remain essential.

## What support can fund

- study concepts for ambulance and hospital workflows;

- health-economic and reimbursement analysis;

- transparent evidence libraries and data-gap registers;

- work on practical evaluation and financing pathways.
