Roberts has specialist knowledge in e-health
having published in international journals in
the area of pre-hospital response.
Anne described the challenges their
technology addresses:
“We know that being the first person on scene
at a medical emergency is tough. Pre-hospital
care is often time-critical; accurate assessment,
data recording and communication of
information can be crucial to outcomes.
Our innovative data capture, reporting and
analytics help communicate information,
enhance clinical governance and streamline
time-consuming audit. This is why we are
working with customers in a range of prehospital
environments, such as first response,
humanitarian aid, first responder schemes,
co-response units off-shore and the aviation
industry.”
The new MIME ® Pro software works
across mobile devices to aid in almost
every aspect of first response. It acts as
a useful aide memoire to first responder
training, helping to enhance competency.
The software can also link with some of
the latest wireless
Bluetooth®
medical sensors,
helping to deliver
real time vital
signs data for
identifying patient
improvement/deterioration. CEO Dr
Alasdair Mort explains:
“Globally we are seeing a significant increase
in first responders attending out of hospital
emergencies across many industries. So, being
able to accurately and quickly articulate the
impact of their responder activities is incredibly
important. Having an accurate patient record
is also vital for clinical governance and audit.
Despite best efforts, this isn’t always the case
currently.”
MIME ® Pro integrates vital signs to deliver a
