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.

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.
