Purpose: To compensate for the shortage of emergency specialists and to maintain quality of medical care in remote regions.

Methods: Develop and validate the concept of real-time coaching using a robotized camera system ceiling-mounted above a stretcher. Exploit a final prototype to evaluate its impact on surgical procedures under controlled conditions.

Results: Preliminary results demonstrate: i) the system allows a remote practitioner to easily view all surgical procedures used in emergency room, and ii) a specialist can coach a nonspecialist to perform a surgical procedure using proper kinesiologic gestual with many individuals surrounding the stretcher. Conclusion: The system could provide help on demand and improve the level of services in trauma medicine for the population of regions where trauma surgeons are unavailable. The system could also decrease medical cost by providing remote support on surgical procedures used to stabilize unstable polytraumatized patients at their arrival in the trauma room.
