Abstract
The main priorities of an emergency physician are to rescue lives and to limit the damage to life and limb of patients as much as possible. Thus, the analysis of the situation at the accident scene and the determination of first aid methods as well as follow-on medical techniques at the hospital are the result. In order to allow an electronic and hands-free data acquisition process, CANIS – the Carinthian Notarzt (emergency physician) Information System – aims at the establishment and optimization of the information stream between the emergency rescue vehicle (ERV) and/or emergency rescue helicopter (ERH), and the receiving hospital, as well as the development of a speech-based electronic Emergency Patient Care Report Form (sEPCRF) . To achieve these challenging requirements, a pervasive hardware setup must be established.
