Emergency Communications

NASA has applied its communications equipment expertise to development of communication console that provides, in a compact package only slightly larger than electric typewriter, all the emergency medical services communication functions needed for a regional hospital. Resulting console has both radio and telephone section. With radio equipment, hospital personnel can communicate with ambulance drivers and paramedics, receive electrocardiograms, consult with other hospitals, page hospital staff and set up a radio-telephone patch. Integrated system also provides links with local disaster and civil defense organizations with emergency Dial 911" control point."
