When doctor Andreas Bootsveld has to make life-or-death decisions about Covid-19 patients, he is not alone as well as consulting his colleagues, he can draw on the advice of a team of specialists.
These experts are not with him in the intensive care unit, but at a bigger hospital 20 kilometres (12 miles) away, linked up via videoconference as part of a project to connect medics in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
