Feasibility of AmbulanCe-based Telemedicine (FACT) Study

NCT02119598 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 43

Summary

Research on prehospital telestroke systems is recommended by the American Stroke Association, as it may facilitate early stroke diagnosis, assessment of stroke severity and selection of patients for specific stroke treatments

The experience with prehospital telemedicine for assessment of stroke severity is limited. Prehospital telestroke is a very promising concept, facilitating specialized stroke care in very early stage based on integration of bidirectional audiovisual communication with point of care laboratory analysis, vitals and decision support software.

The aim of this prospective study is to investigate the safety, the technical feasibility and the reliability of in-ambulance telemedicine using a prototype third generation telemedicine system (PreSSUB 3.0).
