Abstract: Objective To construct a well-designed and efficient intelligent digital management platform for emergency medical supplies to bolster this support system. Methods Based on literature retrieval and investigation into the mechanisms for emergency medical supplies and resource scheduling both at home and abroad, the classification of emergency medical supplies and demands of platform construction were analyzed. Results An intelligent digital management platform for emergency medical supplies was constructed that integrated a collaborative “cloud-edge-device” framework. The platform was backed up by five core technologies: a dynamic modeling engine, information reasoning and intelligent judgment, visual interaction, remote positioning, and big-data-driven optimal path planning so that a closed-loop process was made possible that involved reserve of supplies, prediction of demands, intelligent scheduling, oversight of transportation, quality tracing, and emergency decision-making. Conclusion The reserve and efficient management of emergency medical supplies are critical to responding to emergencies and reducing casualties. The intelligent digital platform constructed in this study integrates mechanisms, technologies and processes, thus providing a replicable and scalable paradigm for ensuring medical supplies during emergencies in China. More research is needed on validation of its robustness and scalability under multi-hazard coupling scenarios.
