ViPHS - Video in the PreHospital Stroke care chain.
Research Project, 2015
–
When someone suffers a stroke, time and choice of treatment are critical factors. The outcome largely depends on how quickly the person receives the right care. If the ambulance staff can consult a stroke specialist via video streaming inside the ambulance, before departure, lives can be saved and permanent brain damage prevented. This is shown in a study led by Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, which involved all of the key professional groups required when someone suffers an acute stroke.
