Brief summary

The study team aims to test connectivity metrics and follow patient outcomes using a new, innovative synchronous video technology in the prehospital setting in three distinct areas: 1. \- 911 Calls 2. \- Pediatric Critical Care Transport Currently, paramedics and pediatric transport teams seek advice from physicians using a telephone. This project replaces the phone with video consultation where the physicians can directly interact with patients, paramedics and transport teams when care advice is needed.
