ASTER – A Telemedical Communication Platform for Ambulance Vehicles

The goal of the ASTER project is to build a telemedical platform for ambulance vehicles in order to optimize the emergency care with the focus on strokes. The main goal of the developments is the establishment of a "digital mobile clinical assistant" which supports the rescue staff in diagnosing the types and severities of incidents on the one hand and getting optimized routes to the best hospital on the other. The technology platform is designed in order to integrate and fuse medical telematics and traffic telematics.
