In routine clinical practice of emergency care, it is very difficult to perform diagnostic procedures during ambulance transport. This can lead to a delay in the patient's diagnosis and, consequently, in the patient's treatment until arrival at the hospital. Although this situation does not imply notable risk in the majority of pathologies, in anticoagulated patients, this delay can be fatal. In this study, a system is discussed that would minimise the response time before the medical administration of anti-haemorrhagic or antithrombotic treatments that would mitigate or even eliminate the dramatic consequences of the progression of intracranial haemorrhage. The aim of this study is to design a real-time emergency telemedicine system for remote medical diagnosis and to demonstrate that it is possible to perform haematological tests in an ambulance in terms of an international normalised ratio (INR) using wireless transmission, accurately and in real-time, to the referral hospital.
