The NIGHTINGALE Project 2nd face-to-face Roundtable & Plenary
October 25-27, 2022
“We are essentially creating an innovative set of technological tools for emergency medical response to upgrade modern pre-hospital life support and triage. The NIGHTINGALE toolkit will provide first responders with novel, affordable and customised medical response tools and services as part of their operational assets.” -NIGHTINGALE Project Manager Dimitra Dionysiou, Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS)
The second face-to-face NIGHTINGALE roundtable and second plenary meeting took place in Messe Berlin at the end of October, 2022. The NIGHTINGALE project team and it’s advisory board gathered amidst the German Congress of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, DKOU 2022.
Up to 32 individuals from partner organisations participated in the Roundtable, while up to 37 individuals from partner organisations participated in the Plenary.
Special thanks from all at NIGHTINGALE to the European Society for Trauma & Emergency Surgery (ESTES) and ASTRIAL GmbH for organising and hosting this consortium meeting.
The purpose of the meetings was to conduct focused discussions to support the technology development, share status updates and discuss next steps in the context of the upcoming testing and validation exercises.
Over the course of three days, NIGHTINGALE project partners engaged in active collaborations, reflected on previous recommendations and presented progress made in the development of AI based tools for the final Novel Integrated Toolkit for Emergency Medical Response, always working towards the end goal of project next steps.
As a result, the consortium is now defining next steps for the validation plan of tools during upcoming events.

Remember!
NIGHTINGALE’S core objectives
- Upgrade evaluation of injured and affected population (triage) using digital identification, traceability, continuous monitoring, and accurate classification of medical conditions
- Optimise pre-hospital life support and damage control and enhance utilisation of assets, resources and capacities using AI-based solutions
- Enable shared response across emergency services and communication between emergency teams and with victims by developing augmented reality tools for first responders
The NIGHTINGALE Toolkit
NIGHTINGALE will develop a novel integrated toolkit for emergency medical response. This toolkit will be designed for emergency medical services and non-medical civil protection agencies, including fire brigades, police, search and rescue personnel, volunteers, and citizens.
The toolkit will go through extensive testing in the framework of a rich Training, Testing and Validation Programme, which includes table-top exercises, laboratory integration tests, small-scale field tests and full-scale field validations.
