MOBICARE was oriented to promote the use of telematics on healthcare emergency systems in order to improve its efficiency on every aspect (economical, attention to the patient, reliability, etc.). The general objective was to define which are the strategic actions to be taken in order to promote the use of healthcare mobile telematics services in the field of emergencies in the European Union. It proposed the use of a pan-European communications standard TETRA - Trans European Trunked Radio Systems, as the most effective and convenient, since it is mainly oriented to fleet management. This was a first approach, on the possible future utilisation of mobile communication technologies in the field of health care telematics. The expected results comprised a better understanding of the users' requirements, the proposal of possible supporting communication technologies and economical and financial guidelines to assess future implementations.
