“Shortening time to stroke treatment using ambulance telemedicine: TeleBAT”
About: A cohort study to examine the difference between the control group with patients who had stroke evaluated and treated with rt-PA on arrival to the emergency department while the intervention group patients were evaluated in the ambulance by transmitting a video that was assessed by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke training videotape.

“Communication and Teamwork During Telemedicine-Enabled Stroke Care in an Ambulance”
About: This study aimed to investigate the communication and teamwork between a neurologist at the hospital, a nurse at the emergency department and the paramedics in the ambulance during a telestroke session in the ambulance. The ambulance was equipped with video cameras and speakers making it possible for the three professions to communicate verbally and non-verbally.

“A low-cost, tablet-based option for prehospital neurologic assessment: The iTREAT Study”
About: A two-center study of a low cost mobile platform (audio and video) that could be brought into ambulances and used by paramedics to evaluate possible stroke patients. This was done by comparing the assessment of the NIHSS score in one group who got face-to-face examination and one group that was examined in the ambulance via video transmission.
