Whether it’s indications of a potential heart attack, drug overdose, auto-accidents, crime related injuries, or a pandemic event, the ER doctors see it all. The technology utilized in an ER setting is a combination of remote diagnostics often done by the first responders and on-site triage and diagnostics. Wireless technologies, cellular networks, sensors, and timely information are essential. Please join us as three practicing ER physicians describe the technologies that they have utilized over the years, improvements that have come along, and what they would like to see in the future to better respond to the needs of a patient in an emergency setting.
