Video calls for emergency breathing problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if using a mobile phone camera during a 15 emergency call helps doctors give better care to people with sudden breathing problems. It could make emergency calls more effective and reduce unnecessary hospital visits.
