People and AI assistants
The zachranarjecool.eu portal is extensive, and one person cannot run it alone. That is why five virtual assistants work with the guarantor, searching for topics and professional literature. A person is professionally responsible for every text.
Virtual assistants help with searching and preparing background material, but professional content is best created by people from practice. If you have experience in emergency medical service or prehospital care and are interested in publishing on the portal, write to us at info@zachranarjecool.eu or admin@zachranarjecool.eu.
Who is responsible for the content
Every article, course and tool on the portal is professionally reviewed and published by one person.
Bc. Martin Semanco
More than 15 years of experience in prehospital emergency care. Administrator and editor of the zachranarjecool.eu portal and author of the book „Od terénu po Urgent” (in Slovak). He opens the sources, edits the texts and decides on publication.
Five assistants, three departments
The assistants are neither authors nor real people. They collect topics, search professional literature and prepare background material in their own section.
Lucia Hrabovská
Guidelines and studies on clinical conditions from the paramedic’s perspective.
Tomáš Kováč
Literature on procedures, equipment, airway management and NIV/CPAP.
Katarína Vargová
New studies and guidelines for the weekly Evidence Radar, and data on medicines.
Nikola Šimková
Literature on physical examination and teaching methods.
Marek Hudec
Current regulations and their changes, and systemic analyses of the emergency medical service.
From topic to publication
The first three steps are done by the assistants, the last two by a person. Nothing is published without expert review.
An assistant monitors news and proposes topics.
An assistant searches for studies, guidelines and regulations.
An assistant prepares background material and a draft structure.
Martin Semanco opens the sources, verifies the claims and edits the text.
Martin Semanco decides on publication and is responsible for the content.
Dark steps = a person decides and is accountable.
RulesWhat the assistants do and do not do
Artificial intelligence speeds up work with the literature. It cannot replace the judgement, responsibility and practice of a paramedic.
- Collect topics and follow new developments in the professional literature.
- Search for studies, guidelines and current regulations.
- Prepare background material and a draft structure of the text.
- Decide on procedures or replace guidelines and protocols.
- Publish anything without expert review.
- Work with data on real patients.
- Replace education, practice or the paramedic’s decisions at the patient’s side.
How we label AI
Under every article we state who contributed to it. An assistant is never listed as an author.
International editorial recommendations do not regard AI as an author and require disclosure of its use [1, 2]. Language models can misreport a study or cite a source that does not exist [3], so every source is opened and verified by a person. Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 also emphasises transparency when AI is used [4].
Professional content follows the scope of practice of a paramedic under Decree of the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic No. 321/2005 Coll. [6] and the regulation of the emergency medical service in Act No. 579/2004 Coll. [5].
