  1. EMERGENCYMEDICALTECHNOLOGIES Intervention technologies for life’s daily emergencies

  2. Our aspiration is to improve survival outcomes for medical emergencies. Our corporate purpose is to develop user-friendly, device-based software solutions that intervene pro-actively in the event of life-threatening incidents.

  3. Surviving Sudden Cardiac Arrest It Is the Worst of Times It Can Be The Best of TimesTale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens Available, but just out of reach Today we are surrounded by wondrous cardiac survival technologies that are available, but still just out of our reach. Automated defibrillation is available, but what are the chances of your identifying the emergency, finding, & using an AED within minutes? The Worst of Times The Best of Times EMT’s WriskWatch™(1) System Access to defibrillation using automated alert, broadcast, and coordination eliminates delay and human error. (1) Trademark Pending

  4. The Worst of Times: A Typical Scenario Meet Jack & Emma Gable. An ordinary couple enjoying their golden years in a typical apartment complex. Jack & Emma Gable awake and prepare for the day. Emma goes across the hall to borrow eggs from her neighbor.

  5. The Worst of Times: A Typical Scenario Without warning, Jack collapses. He has no pulse. In 80% of cardiac arrest cases, the victim is alone.

  6. 0 5 10 Elapsed Minutes: 3+ The Worst of Times: A Typical Scenario Emma returns minutes later. She dials 911. A 911 dispatcher answers. The dispatcher sends for an ambulance

  7. Elapsed Time: 0 5 10 9+ The Worst of Times: A Typical Scenario The ambulance arrives at the Gables’ apartment complex 5 minutes later. Clearing security & waiting for an elevator further delay arrival. Paramedics finally reach Jack. CPR & AED shock are given.

  8. Decline in Survival Due to Delayed Defibrillation 9 10 At 9 minutes, Jack’s chance of survival has dropped by ~90% Every minute of delay in delivering a defibrillation shock reduces a victim’s survival by 10%.

  9. The Worst of Times: A Typical Scenario Everything that could have been done, was done. But: • Proper protocol for SCA, as fast as it is, nevertheless cannot typically respond within the necessary time. • ‘Civilian’ responders do not have access or knowledge • The average EMS arrival time is 10 minutes … however - • Death from SCA typically occurs within 10-12 minutes. • SCA requires the near-immediate delivery of CPR and AED shock. • As a result, the current survival rate for SCA is abysmally low.

  10. Could we have saved this man’s life? Yes ! If we could solve the logistical challenges

  11. The Best of Times: The WriskWatch™ System Jack & Emma Gable awake and prepare for the day. Emma goes across the hall to borrow eggs from her neighbor, Sylvia. Without warning, Jack collapses. This time Jack is wearing EMT’s WriskWatch™.

  12. The WriskWatch™ System EMT’s WriskWatch™ detectspulse. In Jack’s case, there is no pulse. EMT’s Alert Response Protocolactivates automatically, beginning with an audible alert to verify the emergency.

  13. The WriskWatch™ System First level integrity check: Patient Monitored VERIFY THE EMERGENCY Yes Pulse Present ? Audio & Visual Alerts Activate No Activate Response Protocol False Alarm ? No Yes

  14. 5 10 Elapsed Minutes: .5 The WriskWatch System Emma Gable is still at her neighbor Sylvia’s when WriskWatch alerts are sent to both of them & all other neighbors registered. AT THE SAME TIME, The WriskWatch system sends an alert to Building Security, Jack’s cardiologist, & his son. Sylvia & Building Security, respectively, affirm electronically their ability to respond to emergency. This information relays back to all responders. The location of the closest AED is identified.

  15. 0 5 10 Elapsed Minutes: 2 The WriskWatch™ System • Sylvia & Emma rush to the apartment. • The Automatic-Door-Unlock lets them enter immediately & find Jack. • Sylvia calls 911 with a single key press on her cell phone.

  16. The WriskWatch™ System AT THE SAME TIME, • Security retrieves a nearby AED. A guard takes it & proceeds to the Gable’s apartment. • An resident goes out in front of the building to direct EMS. • A third holds an elevator to facilitate access to the Gables’ apartment.

  17. Audible instructions give step-by-step procedures on performing CPR and using the AED. 0 5 10 3.5 Elapsed Minutes: The WriskWatch™ System Security arrives at the apartment with the AED. He applies the AED & the AED takes over. CPR & 1st Shock

  18. The WriskWatch™ System As responders work together to revive Jack, EMT’s Collaboration service establishes a multi-party conference call among Emma, the Security Guard, Jack’s cardiologist and the EMS personnel - who are on route. An eHealth profile highlighting Jack’s daily medications & his allergy to sulfur-based drugs has already been relayed to the cardiologist and EMS.

  19. Jack can now be transported safely to a hospital and his cardiologist’s care. The WriskWatch™ System • EMS arrives 5 minutes later. At the front door & elevator, Building Security expedites their access to the Gables’ apartment. • Jack Gable is already regaining consciousness.

  20. Jack collapses WriskWatch Alerts Responders Emma Sylvia Security Jack collapses EMS enters apartment Security Guard arrives Jack begins to revive Emma returns to apartment EMS enters apartment Emma & Sylvia return to apartment Sylvia calls 911 Emma calls 911 EMS arrives at building EMS arrives at building CPR & AED shock applied EMS prepares Jack for transport to hospital Elapsed Minutes 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 CPR & AED shock applied CPR & AED shock applied Security Guard Gets AED Typical Response vs. EMTComparative Response Timelines Typical Scenario: Elapsed Minutes 3.5 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 WriskWatch:

  21. Jack was released from the hospital a few days later. Using new technologies to solve the logistics of emergency response from EMT’s WriskWatch™ System Jack Gable is alive today.

  22. The WriskWatch™ System: Features Overview Early awareness, early response.

  25. Other WriskWatch™ Applications Imagine… A Fortune 500 executive driven by decisions and deadlines A young athlete pushing to excel A unique benefit for residents of a condominium An expectant mother trying not to overdo Non-intrusive monitoring of hospital inpatients Sudden Cardiac Arrest is only one of many scenarios. • @Risk Health-Wise • Seniors • Athletes • Tourists / Travelers • Accidents & Injuries: Auto & Other • Diabetic / Seizure episodes • Neurological Disorders (Alzheimer's) • Hospital patients (IP or OP) • Organ Donors
