In cases of a (earthquakes, flood, etc) a large number of injured civilians are admitted to health care points and require immediate treatment. The healthcare professionals face the challenge in a very short time to perform an accurate diagnosis and proceed with the appropriate treatment (procedures, administering medications etc).

eHealthPass has been successfully demonstrated in the 5th European Union Module (EU MODEX-Ro) in Bucharest, which was the largest management in the history of the European Union.
