RETTmobil 2025 – Innovation, exchange and the digital future of rescue services
The 23rd RETTmobil International in Fulda has once again shown why it is regarded as the leading trade fair for the rescue services: for three days, Fulda was all about state-of-the-art emergency technology, professional exchange and practical solutions for the future of emergency care. With around 33,000 trade visitors and 507 exhibitors from 27 countries, the trade fair was a complete success and an impressive meeting place for the international industry.
Once again this year, one of the main topics was the tele-emergency doctor – a digital innovation that is changing the rescue services in the long term. The use of telemedicine systems means that even remote regions can be reached more quickly and efficiently. The seamless transmission of medical data in real time – such as vital signs, ECGs, patient information and images – enables tele-EMS doctors to make informed decisions even before the patient reaches the hospital. Thanks to GPS-supported map views, free hospital slots can also be queried directly, making transport decisions much easier.
The current medDV projects in East Westphalia-Lippe, specifically in Bielefeld and Paderborn, are particularly impressive: tele-emergency doctor deployments have been successfully implemented there for over a year and a half – over 5,000 deployments speak for their practical suitability. There are now eight or more call-outs a day, so a second digital workstation has been set up. Care is guaranteed around the clock.
In addition, the collaboration with MIDES in the field of mobile ultrasound diagnostics has met with great interest. The connection of these technologies via the NIDA system shows how versatile and future-oriented the digital rescue chain has become.
RETTmobil 2025 made it clear that the path to networked, fast and safe emergency care is not only possible, but already a reality – thanks to committed partners, technical innovations and the intensive exchange at events like this one.

Data transmission in real time – secure, network-independent and efficient
The “Rescue Chain 5G” project uses 5G technology to optimize communication and data exchange between first responders, rescue services, control centres and hospitals. The aim is to improve networking for more efficient patient care.
medDV supports the seamless integration of deployment data with digital deployment documentation and data management.
The project also aims to relieve the burden on emergency departments and improve resource efficiency by reducing transfer journeys. Technologies such as smartphone apps, augmented reality, AI and robotics are being further developed, tested and tried out in practice.

Real-time data transmission – secure, network-independent and efficient
Imagine if valuable data could be transmitted securely and directly from the scene of an accident to the hospital – without being dependent on the mobile network. The innovative solution from medDV GmbH and A1 Digital makes exactly that possible: emergency services can send patient data encrypted and reliably, which not only saves time, but also significantly improves medical care.
More than just emergency medicine – a look at the industry
What already works in the emergency services also offers decisive advantages in industry. Imagine if production data and machine statuses could be transmitted to central systems in real time – allowing predictive maintenance planning and optimizing production efficiency. With network independence and dual encryption, this IoT connectivity solution ensures data security and stability – a decisive advantage in industries such as production, logistics or remote monitoring, where sensitive information must be reliably protected.

Saving lives with the ADAC emergency pass: now also for non-members
Since January 2024, over 33,000 ADAC members have set up the new digital emergency pass on their smartphones. This gives emergency services quick access to important medical information about patients in an emergency. In close cooperation with medDV, the leading provider of software solutions in the rescue sector, the emergency pass was developed so that it can be seamlessly integrated into existing rescue systems. The free service is now available not only to ADAC members, but also to the general public.
Fast data accessibility in an emergency
By integrating the ADAC emergency pass into the NIDAmobile software solution, medDV, in cooperation with ADAC e.V., has created the basis for emergency services on site to have immediate access to vital patient data, such as medication, pregnancy or previous illnesses. Unlike the pre-installed emergency functions on smartphones, which often only provide limited information, the ADAC Emergency Passport allows encrypted data to be transferred quickly and securely directly to the system of the emergency services and further clinics. This minimizes delays and increases the efficiency of medical care. This network is being successively expanded.
For even more targeted assistance during rescue operations: Emergency pass now also available for non-members
Non-members can create the ADAC emergency pass digitally: First register at adac.de/meinadac and protect your personal data with two-factor authentication. Relevant information can then be entered and saved under “My personal data”. In addition to medical details, important emergency contacts and declarations of intent, such as information on living wills or health care proxies, can also be stored. Finally, the ADAC emergency passport is added to the smartphone wallet, making the data accessible “offline” as well.

A total of 30,308 trade visitors from 50 countries attended RETTmobil 2024 in Fulda. Over three days, the leading international trade fair for rescue and mobility with its 483 exhibitors captivated trade visitors.
The trade fair was also a great success for medDV and left a thoroughly positive impression. The trade fair was characterized by numerous stimulating discussions and interesting exchanges with customers, users, interested parties and partners. Visitors to the medDV stand were able to gain exciting impressions and find out about the latest innovations and technologies relating to mobile data collection in the emergency services. The tele-EMS system attracted particular interest.
This gives a positive outlook for RETTmobil 2025, which will take place in Fulda from May 14 to 16, 2025. Here too, medDV will be on site with a stand
13. May 2024
medDV will be presenting its hardware and software solutions at RETTmobil International 2024 from May 15 to 17 in Fulda. One highlight is the tele-emergency doctor, which is integrated as a module in the NIDApad. Visitors to RETTmobil will have the opportunity to experience the company’s latest solutions live at Stand 1114 in Hall E.
Highlight: Tele-emergency doctor on the rise
The tele-emergency doctor is an independent product from medDV and rescuetrack. With the tele-emergency doctor, it is possible to call an emergency doctor to a rescue operation remotely via live streaming audio or video to save valuable time. The control center is available 24 hours a day. The previous data from NIDAmobile, such as insurance cards, can be easily transferred so that the emergency doctor can get a picture of the overall situation without being on site. It is possible to display images and videos from the scene in the tele-EMS center. Smooth data transmission, such as instructions, a live ECG or vital signs data, ensures a reliable exchange. Another special feature of the Telenotarzt is its interoperability and thus its independence from the control center, hospital, ECG manufacturer and even the deployment documentation.
MedicalPad from WEINMANN is now part of medDV
medDV took over the MedicalPad division from WEINMANN Emergency in April 2023 and has since continued the customer relationships on a long-term basis. This has resulted in close strategic cooperation in the areas of sales, marketing and development.
Optimizing processes for mobile rescue teams
The medDV solution world focuses on integrated systems for mobile data collection in the emergency services. These solutions support processes in the care of emergency patients on site and optimize data communication between the mobile unit and the control centre or hospital. Processes are standardized and accelerated. At the same time, operations are seamlessly and easily documented and transferred to the various players.
Document operations quickly and accurately
With NIDA, the rescue service no longer has to fill out time-consuming emergency protocols. Patient data, diagnoses and measures are recorded simply, intuitively and quickly using the NIDApad. All entries can be made with the fingers. The structure of the emergency log is simple and clear. With the NIDAmobile software and the modern user interface, customized protocols are available for different types of operations, such as ambulance transports, emergency operations and ITW transports.
