Emergency medical system

Individuals facing difficulties such as social isolation, loneliness, social exclusion, and economic hardship often use ambulances or visit emergency departments.

I am conducting research on how to collaborate with professionals in various fields to address challenges that cannot be resolved by medical professionals alone and support individuals facing social issues.
