Thanks for your replies Joachim and Alexander!

I’ve been doing some research about these cloud based virtual contact centers and it’s getting more and more interesting! COVID-19 has created some needs that are perfectly met with these solutions: Remote work requirements and rapid scaling.

Alexander replied to the discussion Raising awareness on the bystanders' role in the group Strategies for the uptake of the bystanders’ interventions in life-threatening emergencies

I also believe that the best way to uptake the role of bystanders during emergencies is to train more lay people in CPR, tourniquet use, and other life-saving techniques. An example is the one hour training course created by the American College of Emergency Physicians and conducted by emergency physicians that teach basic life-saving skills to…

Hallo dear EMS Network members,

A new method to detect movement or even respiratory disorder was developed by the start-up Origin Wireless aiming at the provision of an alternative to the classic alarm systems. The technology, which is known as a “time-reversing machine”, only requires two routers in the mesh network and can detect changes in the…

Hi Sandra, thank you for your intersting contribution! I certainly think that COVID-19 represents a push for telemedicine adoption.

The COVID-19 crisis made it clear that not every visit to the doctor has to be personal. Many concerns and questions from patients can be resolved digitally more quickly. Health insurance companies have therefore made…

Dear members,

a lot of uncertainty seems to be the result of the mere fact, that we still do not have exact information about the virus and its symptoms.

Some studies suggest, that many infected don’t seem to show any symptoms at all:

“Two thirds of all people who tested positive for sars-CoV-2 in Vienna were asymptomatic – i.e. had no signs of…

Dear EMS Network members, i came across an article on technology which can
detect victums through walls and other barriers using WLAN-like signals. The so-called “Through Wall Sensing” system is based on a prototype from the ETH Zurich, which has now been further developed. The heart of the system is the “Software Defined Radio Platform” (SDR)…

I think is very useful to have data in real-time on disaster situation. Maybe can fail in the weather situation or due transmission difficulties but these devices still keeping the data in the arrival in the hospital even they couldn’t transmit on the move.
