Summary

This trial tests whether adding a live video feed from a caller's smartphone camera to standard phone triage helps emergency doctors make better decisions for adults with sudden breathing difficulty. About 778 adults who call a French emergency medical center for acute shortness of breath will be included. The goal is to see if video-assisted triage reduces both under-triage (missing a serious case) and over-triage (sending too many resources).

What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could help emergency doctors make faster, more accurate decisions for people with breathing trouble, potentially saving lives and reducing unnecessary hospital visits.
What could go wrong
