A new mobile app makes it possible for ambulance workers to communicate visually with the doctor in the hospital. The app, which will send video in a secure way, has been developed by the Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation, which will test it as a pilot project together with Helse Midt-Norge in Trondheim. It is a huge step forward, says section chief at the emergency department at St. Olav’s hospital. “If this becomes a system that can be trusted and that provides good image transmission, then it will be a supplement that enables us to be involved as decision support from the hospital” he says.
