New technology could make treating the injured after a natural disaster more efficient and effective, according to an article on The Daily Yonder website.
AMD Global Telemedicine partnered with Jenysis Global to create mobile telehospitals to help in a variety of settings: disaster recovery, medically underserved communities, military installations, and remote work environments.
“When we had hurricanes last year, physicians all over the world were willing to donate time and medical services,” Eric Bacon, AMD president, said in the article. “But how do you capitalize on their services when they don’t have physical or telephone access to the people in need?”
The self-contained telehealth clinics are delivered fully equipped with telemedicine technologies and medical equipment. The units’ completely sustainable infrastructure includes water, solar panels for power, HVAC, satellite communications and ports for broadband connections.
