SMARTPHONE APPLICATION FOR STEMI ACTIVATION: A PILOT STUDY

BACKGROUND ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) requires efficient communication and collaboration to ensure timely care. The current model for STEMI activation often relies on telephone and fax. While secure, fax is often slow, inefficient, and inaccessible. To speed up the process, clinicians often use text messaging, which is not secure, or activation without ECG review, which increases the risk of false activation. This study …
