D3.8. Report on the technical, legal and ethical profiles related to the interoperability of first response

The main objective of this deliverable is to study, compare and develop the technical, legal and ethical issues related to the interoperability of first responders and other relevant actors in emergency situations. A variety of studies and trials on the subject as well as existing public and private initiatives have been analysed. The developments are currently most clearly seen in the eHealth sector, but we believe that many of the principles and steps followed can be applicable to emergency situations. To the challenges and opportunities found in all of them, we have added our own suggestions, which will be further developed and refined as the project progresses and lessons are learned. In order for the study to be realistic and applicable, it is of great importance to closely monitor the results of the Use Cases as well as the other research tasks, as valuable facts will emerge and the solution will be based on experience. Always with the aim of providing an innovative solution that is aware of reality, takes advantage of existing technologies and complies with EU regulations on the subject. This document constitutes the updated version of the D3.2 and D3.7.
