eHealth lab team had developed AVARIS – Emergency and Prehospital Health Care Support Network. AVARIS Is a digital system which has several modules such as call center dashboard, mobile devices for ambulance vehicles, mobile devices for patient monitoring; to cover emergency incident handling and prehospital patient support. The Ambulance department of the state health services organization has been using this network in daily practice since the end of 2018. It is used for the support of Incident call handling, data exchange between ambulance vehicles and the emergency call center, electronic recording of all data related to an emergency incident and deliver of incident information to the accident and emergency department of the hospital where the incident is transferred. Smartplaigo will be integrated in this network in order to enhance ambulance management techniques.
