Webex in the Ambulance

Who: Cisco in collaboration with Skyehuset Innlandet

What: Webex in the ambulance is an innovative initiative designed to enhance emergency medical services through advanced communication technology. This project equips ambulances with Cisco’s Webex platform, enabling real-time video communication between paramedics and doctors at the hospital. The main objective is to improve patient outcomes by allowing doctors to provide immediate medical consultations and decisionmaking support during patient transport. Key features include video conferencing for remote diagnosis and treatment guidance, instant messaging for quick information exchange, and enhanced coordination for seamless patient handoff. By facilitating access to specialist advice and optimizing resource allocation, this initiative aims to demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of integrating telemedicine with emergency services, potentially serving as a model for similar projects globally.
