Workshop Summaries

Virtual Workshop:  July 11, 2024 at 6:30am PT / 9:30am ET / 15:30 CET.

This session focused on the planned pivot from exploring stakeholder needs and value propositions to developing integrated safety system prototypes and reference implementations for improving post-crash care.  The following projects were approved for deeper definition:

• Protecting the scene of a crash, and 

• 9-1-1 Dispatcher Visibility

As such, separate meetings will be scheduled to create the project proposals that will be presented to COVESA Leadership on July 29, 2024.  Once approved, separate meetings will be set up to drive the projects forward.  Please contact Tim VanGoethem <tvangoethem@ess-help.com> and Larry Williams <lwilliams@roadmedic.com> if you're interested in participating in one or both of these projects.
