  • Abstract
    There is a death risk that increases with the required time to transport a critical patient to a hospital by ambulance. Effectiveness of medical attention and therefore patient´s safety will strongly depend on the quickness to determine appropriate actions to be performed when patient arrives to the hospital. It is evident the need of establishing a communication link between monitoring equipment inside the ambulance and the healthcare center. This paper presents a system that automatically integrates, organizes, records and wirelessly transmits patient´s vital signs in real-time. Physicians and specialists could use this information to make a pre-diagnosis of patient´s current condition, anticipate possible complications and medical treatment planning before his arrival to the care center.
