While located in Tucson, Arizona, Dr. Rifat Latifi from Tucson's University Medical Center will be "virtually present" in the Amazon basin of Peru and Brazil via General Devices e-Bridge EMS Telemedicine system. Over the course of the historic 70-day swim of the Amazon River, Dr. Latifi will be able to visually observe the condition of the swimmer, Martin Strel, as well to log physiologic changes related to this extreme exercise. Should the need arise, Dr. Latifi will direct colleagues on board the boat following the swimmer in emergency medical care. Streaming data will be provided by a Zoll M Series(r) CCT monitor and communications will be provide by a satellite link. The e-Bridge system, using General Devices' new Rosetta-GO portable telemedicine and the CAREpoint EMS Workstation, is similar to what is being used in Tucson's revolutionary ER-Link system, which will soon become operational as the first such EMS Telemedicine system in the country.
