At EBME Expo, CSJ’s editor caught up with Vicky Roberts, from Zoll, to discuss the latest digital advances for the EBME sector. Zoll develops and markets medical devices and software solutions that help advance emergency care and save lives. High on the agenda at EBME Expo was the need to increase clinical and operational efficiencies through the effective management of smart medical devices.
Ensuring medical devices such as defibrillators are ready for use is absolutely critical and Vicky provided an overview of how the latest digital technologies are helping to deliver peace of mind for users in life saving scenarios. Visibility of critical medical devices is key to ensuring uptime, patient safety and improved outcomes and, with RescueNet Device Dashboard, hospitals are able to benefit from at-a-glance, state-of-readiness checks for an entire fleet of defibrillators, even across multiple campuses and locations.
Zoll provides a comprehensive set of technologies that help clinicians, EMS and fire professionals, as well as lay rescuers, improve patient outcomes in critical cardiopulmonary conditions - with products for defibrillation and cardiac monitoring, circulation enhancement and CPR feedback, supersaturated oxygen therapy, data management, ventilation, therapeutic temperature management, and sleep apnoea diagnosis and treatment.
In this interview, Vicky discusses some of the key technology trends around smart devices, cyber security and artificial intelligence.
