We are thrilled to announce that the Bloomington Fire Department (BFD) in Indiana, USA has installed Tech4Life’s Telemedicine kits to enhance their Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) program. This unique initiative uses the innovative Sojro Ambulance Telemedicine Kits into BFD’s mobile health vehicles, elevating the standard of emergency medical services provided to the Bloomington community.
Bloomington Fire Department’s MIH Program:
The Bloomington Fire Department (BFD) has been at the forefront of innovative healthcare delivery through their MIH program, which focuses on providing non-emergency care directly to patients’ homes and in the community. This initiative is specifically designed to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital readmissions, specifically for patients with chronic conditions. The MIH team, comprised of dedicated community EMTs, proactively manages these patients, thereby improving overall quality of life and alleviating the burden on emergency services.
Integration of Sojro Ambulance Telemedicine Kits:
To further strengthen and complement the capabilities of the MIH program, Tech4Life provided four Sojro Ambulance Kits. These comprehensive kits are compact, robust, can easily be integrated with ambulances or any mobile vehicle and withstand the rigors of emergency response scenarios.
Key features include:
Real-Time Monitoring: Telemedicine devices capable of transferring real-time data and images, facilitating immediate patient assessment. These devices include vital signs monitors for blood pressure, Heart rate, Respiratory rate, Oxygen saturation, temperature, and ECG, Digital Stethoscope, Digital Otoscope, Dermascope, and Irisscope.
Noise Cancellation: Technology that minimizes external and internal noise, ensuring clear communication during transit.
Backup Power: Reliable power sources for uninterrupted mobile telemedicine, even in areas without readily available power.
Multiple Network Options: Versatile connectivity solutions through our live consultation program to maintain consistent communication channels.
By incorporating these telemedicine kits, BFD’s community’s EMTs can conduct live consultations and transmit critical patient data to hospitals enroute, enabling more informed and expedited medical interventions.
A Shared Vision for Community Health
This collaboration presents a shared commitment to leveraging technology to bridge the gaps in healthcare access. By equipping BFD’s mobile health vehicles with Sojro Ambulance kits, we aim to facilitate timely medical interventions, reduce strain on emergency services and contribute to improved health outcomes for the Bloomington community.
We look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will have on the underserved communities and remain dedicated to supporting innovative solutions that can foster public health and safety.
