Synchronous Video (Telemedicine) Consulation in the Prehospital Setting

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Telemedicine; Emergencies; Prehospital; Telehealth
• Interventions: Device: Video Consultation

• Registration Number: NCT03800316
• Lead Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Brief Summary

The study team aims to test connectivity metrics and follow patient outcomes using a new, innovative synchronous video technology in the prehospital setting in three distinct areas:

1. - 911 Calls

2. - Pediatric Critical Care Transport

Currently, paramedics and pediatric transport teams seek advice from physicians using a telephone. This project replaces the phone with video consultation where the physicians can directly interact with patients, paramedics and transport teams when care advice is needed.
