Abstract: Telecommunications have been evolved dramatically during the last ten years, laying solid foundation for the next generation of Web Technologies and ultimate automated information cyberspace. As a result of this evolution and the users' demands, the current efforts of the researchers, in the areas of Health Information Transfer in Crisis Situations, promotes formation of inter-disciplinary international teams of experts, in order to create a new generation of technologies which will facilitate the future health information systems. The TETRA network can enable existing information and resources to be extended out to the point of care, helping medical professionals deliver top medical care in a more timely and efficient manner. In medicine, time savings equals hospital savings. The objective of this paper is to study how simply a medical specialist can collect physiological data from mobile-remote patients and how reliably health information can be transferred from emergency places to hospitals through TETRA.
