The Interoperability of medical devices and IT systems using various technologies in clinics and the preclinical area is still a research topic. The MOMENTUM project deals with the new 5G mobile technology and explores how they contribute to an improvement in emergency care. Different applications, as well as various technical and clinical aspects, including IT security, are considered. Integrated emergency care seems sensible, particularly for emergencies outside of metropolitan areas and for particularly critical cases.
