Abstract
In case of an emergency within a hospital, all available doctors get alarmed through a central collecting point. Only the doctor arriving first at the patient undertakes the medical treatment. All other doctors needlessly interrupt their current treatments or standby service. This article presents a prototype, to locate and alarm safely the nearest and available doctor. Mobile devices (smartphones und tablets based on Android or iOS) are used for localization, alarming and confirmation. Beside the localization in closed buildings the daily use of the prototype was tested. This incorporated the smooth integration into clinical information systems, the easy to use interface as well as the availability and robustness of the solution.
