Abstract :
Especially in the field of emergency medicine, it is evident that "non-therapy-time" needs to be minimized to maximize the possibility of survival. One approach to achieve this goal is the implementation of a medical first responder system, like in Austria, Germany or in the US. Although the system works well in Austria, essential progress in the area of mobile communication enables promising ways of coordination support to increase the system\´s efficiency. Presented in the following article is the idea of a new smart phone application that optimizes the communication of first responders and the control center. The first responder information and communication software, "FRICS", is designed for introduction into the Austrian first responder system.
