Abstract

The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) opens new perspectives for the generation of new pre-hospital trauma care systems. Precisely, this article presents a design of a system that supports the processes of communication and data acquisition from the place of occurrence of the trauma and during the transport of the patient to the health center. The results of the tests in a controlled environment and in the field showed the feasibility, reliability and viability of the developed implementation.
