First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a simple video call system on a tablet could help doctors remotely assess children with breathing problems while they were being transported in an ambulance. Researchers worked with 20 children who were stable enough for transport and compared the remote doctor's assessment with the paramedic's on-the-spot evaluation. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and acceptable for real-world use, paving the way for larger studies.
