Just-In-Time eTraining Applied To Emergency Medical Services

Abstract

While the applications of just-in-time training are more and more spread, the ubiquitous mobile technology has not found practical uses of this training strategy. As an original example of services for healthcare, we present in this work an application of eTraining that makes use of mobile telephones to transmit medical and on-site information content to emergency medical personnel that attend and emergency. The state-of-the-art in related technologies, overall architecture, and functioning of JITTER (for Just-In-Time Training for Emergency Responders) is described in this work.Universidad de Málaga.
