Brief project description

The application "Qermid © Cardiac Defibrillators" is an online service that allows to register individual medical patient data and material data about cardiological implants and procedures. In this way, the various cardiology centers have the necessary data available quickly and easily, which increases the quality of medical care for the patients. The registration of these data also has a second purpose, namely the electronic processing of the application and decision-making procedure for the reimbursement of the implants by the NIHDI to the hospitals.
