It is well-known that the number of natural and man-made disasters have grown substantially around the world, most of which require immediate health services in areas where health providers take a long time to reach physically. These include earthquakes, which occur on land and under the sea, causing Tsunamis in areas along the shores. Tsunamis cause severe damage in infrastructure making it extremely difficult for health and other rescue services to reach the ground. In such situations, Telemedicine can immediately bridge the gap.
Telemedicine systems depend heavily on the infrastructure, such as internet connectivity and power, along with the capacity of the people who would use the technology. Thus, it is critical that the telemedicine solutions used in Tsunamis should be able to work on alternate power sources, such as battery power or solar energy, and with different types of connectivity options, such as satellite, mobile and point-to-point connectivity options. Moreover, these solutions should also be extremely simple to use. It has also been observed in several recent disasters that connectivity and power are the first to restore components of the infrastructure, enabling more rigorous use of Telemedicine. Tech4Life believes in enabling the use of Telemedicine in all situations, especially in times when access to care is most difficult. Tech4Life has designed a Telemedicine kit for disasters which can be used in such times with high efficiency. In addition, Tech4Life’s drone kits are also highly relevant in Tsunami situations for telemedicine consultations and supply of essential medical equipment and drugs.
Thus, it is highly recommended for all health systems and disaster preparedness teams to include Sojro Disaster Telemedicine kits and Sojro Drone kits as part of their essential equipment for their disaster response strategy.
