“Interview: Roger Lee Heath’s LifeBot and Super Ambulances”
About: Article about the so called Super Ambulances that has been tested in Texas and are equipped with video cameras that can live stream from inside the ambulance to make it possible for doctors to assist with diagnosis support. This has helped in many ways: it has reduced the unnecessary transports to hospitals with ambulance, the paramedics can perform certain treatments in the ambulance with the support from a doctor and the video consultation gives information to the hospital before the patient arrives.
