The app will connect UVA physicians directly to patients via video while they are being transported in the ambulance, according to a Feb. 13 release from UVA. The aim is to provide patients with a faster diagnosis that can lead to faster treatment times once a patient arrives at UVA. 

The program is backed by a $1.5 million grant from the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration and will work with EMS agencies and community health organizations to implement the mobile telemedicine app into ambulances.
