U.S. Military Improves Medical Care, Tactical Advantage with Wireless Point-of-care Handheld Assistant
Overview Military medics save lives in the field, and now get some high-tech help with a critical part of that job-tracking medical information on the troops under their care. This traditionally time-consuming, paper-based task has been required by law since veterans returned from the 1990 Persian Gulf War with undocumented illnesses, injuries, and exposures. One former medic took up the challenge of improving both medical care and record-keeping by creating a point-of-care handheld assistant based on Microsoft Windows Mobile software. The solution gives medical providers an all-in-one tool for diagnosing and treating conditions and capturing patient information. Snapshots of unit health improve tactical advantage, which can result in a more agile military force.
