EMS Safety Foundation INDEMO Project innovation @EMS World 2017!


The EMS Safety Foundation's INDEMO project and iRescU Project were some of the many highlights at EMS World Expo 2017. The hard working EMS Safety Foundation team - led so impressively by Josh Wheeler, EMS Chief, Winthrop Maine - gave the delegates at EMS World Expo a great and hands on perspective of the work of the EMS Safety Foundation, sharing safety innovation with you all.
The Exhibit floor was huge, with so much to see. The constant stream of folks from the learning center and Randy Mantooth just by us @ Booth 411, sure kept us all very busy at EMS World Expo.
We also launched the first phase of the iRescU project at EMS World Expo, crowdsourcing public access AED locations - so you can now be part of augmenting existing AED geolocation data for us all, with just a smart phone or a camera!

*Neonatal Transport System Safety Concepts White Paper released @ AAP 2015!*


October 25, 2015: release of SETONP "Neonatal Transport System Safety Concepts" White Paper

Oct 25, 2015 is a special day, as the EMS Safety Foundation released its Neonatal Transport System Safety Concepts White Paper at the American Academy of Pediatrics Annual National Conference, in DC.

This White Paper is a product of the EMS Safety Foundation's Safe Emergency Transport of Neonatal Patients (SETONP) phase I project funded by the Medevac Foundation.

Health care folks talking with engineers, transportation scientists, designers, biomechanists and ergonomists and visa versa, is as key as it is challenging. It became clear to us early in the project that a document that covered facilitating that dialogue and collaboration was key to us, and would be of great value to our broader colleagues. And this is that preliminary document, and in many ways just a tip of the iceberg.

image
Neonatal Transport System Safety Concepts White Paper
http://www.emssafetyfoundation.org/prelimSETONP.pdf


Public Comment Link
http://www.EMSSafetyFoundation.org/SETONP-PublicCommentForm.htm


This White paper is, yes, our first one, and it is unusual for a few reasons:

1. It was developed by a group of interdisciplinary colleagues on three continents in disciplines ranging across - systems engineering, biofidelic and biomechanical engineering, vehicular occupant protection, operational ergonomics, fleet management practice and transportation safety system in addition to expertise in operational neonatal transport practice.

2. It is to be augmented with crowd sourced interdisciplinary public comment. This document is, open for public comment from all disciplines including transport engineers, ergonomists and neonatal care providers as of today at this link www.EMSSafetyFoundation.org/SETONP-PublicCommentForm.htm - so that we can make it as valuable a document as possible for the operational providers in neonatal transport. We are keen for our next Phase of this project to be optimized so we can make sure that the data and information we assemble is of maximal value to those who access it.

So, many thanks to all who have been instrumental in getting this project together to date for this White Paper and the broader SETONP project, and for all the additional work that is underway preparing for the next phase of this project, to expand and augment the work done to date on this SETONP Phase I project.

I specifically would like to thank the lead project team members for all their input and expertise - Prof Rob Salzar (Occupant protection engineering), Prof Al Hackel (Neonatology and transport), Chris Fitzgerald (Human Factors and Applied Medical Transport Ergonomics), Lynette Johnson (Neonatal Transport Provider), Ronald Rolfsen (EMS and Medical Transport and international standards), Prof Art Cooper (Pediatric Trauma and policy) - as well as the numerous others in the engineering, transport science and health care arenas who have contributed to the broader SETONP project.

How to connect to Andi the telepresence robot -


Connection with Andi can be made with any laptop or android tablet, or a windows desktop running a recent version of Google Chrome. Also Samsung galaxy smart phones (and any android phones with Google Chrome) can drive the robot seamlessly, though the small screen size is a limitation. Please do consider a quick practice test over the next 48 hours - just call me (917 992 2979) to set up a live test link for you or skype 'Objectivesafety'.
1. After this Virtual Telepresence form is submitted, a web link will be emailed to you, allowing access to the robot at your allocated time.
2. Just prior to the scheduled time, open the email and click on the link, or copy and paste into the address bar of the Google Chrome browser.
3. Once a connection is established, the screen of your device will automatically show the robot's view. If you have a front facing camera on your tablet or a web cam on your laptop or PC, your image will appear in the upper right corner of your screen.
4. You will 'see' what the robot can see in real time. Directional movement of the robot is controlled by you with the onscreen arrows on tablets and smart-phones, and with the arrow keys on laptops and desktops.
5. Onscreen controls will allow for adjustment of volume and robot height.
6. Still photos of what you can see via the robot can be taken by you at any time by clicking the camera icon on your interface.

So yes, you can now, with the EMS Safety Foundation, take pictures in Germany without even being there!!
