Discussion

Simulation study shows FD riders can improve defibrillator delivery times for OHCAs, highlighting EMS integration potential.

Defibrillator arrival time decreased by 2.99 minutes with a 10% FD rider response rate, improving emergency response.
Simulation indicated that over 60% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests were attended by FD riders during peak hours.
Increased response rates required only 13.4% of FD riders to achieve 80% coverage during peak hours.
Integrating food delivery riders into emergency medical services may significantly reduce patient waiting times in high-density areas.

Chin et al. (2025) studied this question.
