e-BRIDGE™ - THE PRACTICAL, AFFORDABLE "SYSTEMS" APPROACH TO EMS TELEMEDICINE
General Devices’ e-Bridge™ system is a fully integrated, “systems” approach to mobile telemedicine. Unlike cobbled together “bits and pieces” and “stovepipe” solutions that address short term needs, e-Bridge is comprised of building-blocks that have been designed to work together as a system. This unique approach is what provides e-Bridge™ with its inherent flexibility and allows it to evolve to meet your changing needs.
More than a bridge between the ED and the field, e-Bridge is your bridge to the future.
e-Bridge™ addresses the complete set of EMS’ needs - communications, documentation & information management.
e-Bridge™ is designed to work with a wide variety of communications systems. This ability gives you the key benefits of redundancy, affordability and non-obsolescence. e-Bridge™ does not replace your current UHF or VHF radios - instead, it allows you to supplement it with the latest wireless digital technology, including 3G cellular, mesh, wi-fi, wi-bro and wi-max. A common graphical user interface (GUI) makes all your communications usable by medics, nurses and physicians with little or no special training. e-Bridge™'s built-in digital log recorder captures everything that passes through the system! Voice, images, e-PCRs, physiologic information, …..EVERYTHING!!! This simplifies and improves record keeping for medical-legal purposes, training, and patient follow-up and paves the way for the comprehensive electronic medical record keeping and billing. Downloadable and transportable, password-protected, fully encrypted records can accessed on a standard PC from literally anywhere. e-Bridge™'s ability to interface with and acquire, send, display and print images, physiologic monitoring data, PCRs, ultrasound and just about any other electronic form of data means that whatever you have in the field can quickly get to where it is needed.
Meeting both day-to-day as well as disaster needs.
The ability to freely communicate physiologic information, images, voice and other forms of data is useful for a wide range of needs, extending from day-to-day to special disaster related needs. While many situations are managed by conventional EMS protocols, telemedicine and telepresence lets distant participant assist and “virtually visit” the scene for those really critical cases. Managing a difficult patient? - Telemedicine can make the difference between a successful encounter and a lawsuit. Need a second opinion to decide between a local or more distant care facility? - Telemedicine can save time, money, and maybe even a life. Having problems assembling the trauma team? - Let the physicians see for themselves what you are bringing in. Disaster related needs? - Have an expert assess the scene before running the risk of bringing contaminated patients into the ED.
Avoiding obsolescence & controlling costs as you move into the future - Configurability by building blocks.
To successfully move into the future, you need a system that your people will actually use and will work when they need it. Multiple boxes and multiple systems mean confusion and frustration and, in the end will result in higher costs, poor performance and obsolescence. With e-Bridge™, you will get it right the first time!
e-Bridge™ is designed to meet your exact needs – both today as well as tomorrow! Whether you need to send 12-Lead reports or full-motion/full color images, the building blocks of e-Bridge let you do what you need to do when you need to do it. The low-cost hand-held Rosetta-Lt lets you send 12-Lead reports over voice grade communications into the CAREpoint EMS Workstation where they can be printed or forwarded directly to the cath lab or cardiologists – in seconds! The full function Rosetta-VC turns your ambulance into a true “mobile intensive care unit”, providing you with a suite of telemedicine capabilities. The Rosetta-GO gives you the ultimate in portable telemedicine – set it up where and when you need it!
Overview of e-Bridge™ EMS Telemedicine System.
The e-Bridge™ EMS Telemedicine System uses the latest technologies to simplify communications between the field and the hospital. In the field, Rosetta-VC connects monitors, notebook computers, cameras, and other field devices to cellphones, broadband wireless systems and conventional radios. In the ED, CAREpoint takes complete care of ED activities - receiving, presenting, printing, and archiving. e-Bridge provides a near seamless link with all elements of the system - cath labs, physicians' offices, trauma centers and other public safety agencies.
