E-health services have a variety of applications in the case of both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Every aspect of telemedicine belongs to the field of e-health services. Several technological means are applied in OHCA, including the use of smartphones with focused applications, video services, and drones. Health care professionals can derive a variety of benefits from telemedicine services, including an electronic form of early warning system, telemetry, telemedicine consultation, for treating cardiac arrest. The education and training of both health professionals and citizens are crucial for the optimal exploitation of these new technologies. E-health services promote participation and accessibility for all, enhance the role and performance of health professionals, and ultimately improve the quality of health care provision.
