Requirements for 5G Integrated Data Transfer in German Prehospital Emergency Care

Abstract

Data from preclinical emergency care is often not available in an integrated, electronic way. Data flow between ambulances and trauma centers lacks a communication approach that allows for efficient aggregation, transmission and reuse. We present the results of the requirement analysis for 5G-supported emergency care scenarios. With the illustarted requirements and derived structural consequences, we conclude with a proposal that will allow us to provide mechanisms and technologies to enable integrated emergency communication for preclinical care using modern communication technologies.
