Anna Follin has written a master's thesis on the subject which is now published in report form by CARER:
- My report describes a user-centered study about the digital tools that civilian response personnel (CIP) in Sweden use today, as well as presenting a design proposal for a unified system from a UX design perspective, says Anna.

The CIP concept is now being introduced by many rescue services in the country and the development of user-friendly alerting is of great importance going forward.
