“Development and Pilot Testing of 24/7 In-Ambulance Telemedicine for Acute Stroke: Prehospital Stroke Study at the Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel-Project”
About: A pilot study to examine how telemedic contact (video etc) with in-hospital stroke staff could reduce the risk of stroke patients not being identified in the ambulance and therefore not getting the appropriate care and to see if this could speed upp treatment initiation. This project was called PreSSUB.

“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.
