A research project conducted by the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich investigated the benefit of the cosinuss° monitoring solution for long-term, terrestrial transportation and prolonged-field-care in rush alpine rescue scenarios. During patient transport in the stretcher, the sensors were able to provide reliable data without the requirement of a manual measurement.
For the rescuers, the opportunity of the cosinuss° sensor technology reduces workload in stressful situations of alpine rescuing. Most convincing for mountain rescuers is the low weight and size. Digital access to vital signs data will be very decisive in the future, when alpine rescuers can be supported by a tele-doctor.
