Synchronous Video (Telemedicine) Consulation in the Prehospital Setting

May 1, 2020 updated by: Christopher S. Russi, Mayo Clinic

The study team aims to test connectivity metrics and follow patient outcomes using a new, innovative synchronous video technology in the prehospital setting in three distinct areas:

  1. - 911 Calls
  2. - Pediatric Critical Care Transport

Currently, paramedics and pediatric transport teams seek advice from physicians using a telephone. This project replaces the phone with video consultation where the physicians can directly interact with patients, paramedics and transport teams when care advice is needed.
