General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada (GDLS-Canada) www.gdlscanada.com has selected LifeBot www.lifebot.us to provide telemedicine, medical equipment, and medical engineering support needed to design and build a new Light Armored Vehicle Ambulance variant.
LifeBot will supply advanced mobile telemedicine and lightweight rugged ALS Defibrillator along with an integrated Electronic Patient Call Report (e-PCR) with live physiological data.
LifeBot CEO, Roger Heath stated, “We are very proud to be working with GDLS-Canada as we have taken technologies developed by the military and we have been able to fuse them into an affordable single small lightweight ruggedized and portable system.”
LifeBot working in the field for a number of years developed the mobile telemedicine system known as LifeBot Mobility™ which is the only system that includes resuscitation capabilities. The LifeBot 5 Mobile Telemedicine System is used to collect and communicate vital medical information.
It is also the only system that stores medical records for both online and offline use, and is able to update patient records across whole groups of LifeBot field systems or ambulances, using a central data repository records server.
Unlike other telemedicine systems, patient records can include critical physiological data or vital signs information that is acquired and integrated automatically. These features are needed to advance mobile integrated healthcare and to use effectively in Community Paramedicine programs.
In addition, LifeBot systems are modular and readily upgradable to new technologies as they become available. This assures that the equipment won’t become obsolete and this will reduce costs over the long term.
LifeBot holds the exclusive worldwide license on the “Disaster Relief and Emergency Medical Services (DREAMS) telemedicine technologies developed with the U.S Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and TATRC under a $14 million grant.
