24 – EMS Agenda 2050 Meets the COVID-19 Pandemic

“EMS Agenda 2050 Meets the COVID-19 Pandemic”

About: A paper which points out six guiding principles that will provide the framework for the evolution of the EMS system until 2050 where one principle is adaptable and innovative. This principle evolved from the pandemic where it was realised that audiovisual support in EMS settings was a great resource that needs further development and implementation.

“Disaster Relief and Emergency Medical Services (DREAMS): Digital EMS Yearly Project Overview and Status”

About: Review article of the DREAMS project which was developed by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. The goals of the project were to create a virtual presence of a physican during the ambulance transportation to the hospital and to provide a system to assist EMS personell in situations as mass-casualities, disaster relief and so on. This was done with help of video conferencing.

“Exploring gender differences in perceptions of 3D telepresence collaboration technology: an example from emergency medical care”

About: A paper which explores if there are any differences between the genders when it comes to the study “Exploring the potential of video technologies for collaboration in emergency medical care”. The result was that the 3D technology offered male paramedics more often a feeling of good self-efficacy which could lead to a better job-performance for males in the future.

“Real-Time Adaptation to Time-Varying Constraints for Medical Video Communications”

About: The goal of this paper is to provide methods for real-time end-to-end systems that dynamically adapt to time-varying channel states while maximizing the clinical video quality. The latter is expected to expedite the adoption of mHealth medical video communications in standard clinical practice by preserving the quality thresholds for remote diagnosis and decision making. The use of this in ambulances is discussed.

“Performance analysis of medical video streaming over 4G and beyond small cells for indoor and moving vehicle (ambulance) scenarios”

About: This paper investigates the use of 4G and other small cell networks for medical video streaming for the paramedics both in the ambulance and in other indoor scenarios. The paper focuses on how small cell networks are needed for real-time video streaming because of more reliable diagnostic quality and it will be able to handle high data rates.
