Outcomes including image quality and transmission reliability suggest it may be problematic to transmit real time images from an ambulance. Reliability has been a central theme as variable levels of image degradation have been reported, which resulted in reduced sensitivity and specificity. Most current techniques for remote ultrasound (tele-sonography) use asynchronous transmission which have incurred significant transmission delays. However, from a data perspective, they do not utilize the knowledge and imaging available at their hub locations (usually the hospital). Color Doppler imaging is also advantageous for CHF and MI assessment at the point of care.Ĭurrent ambulance platforms are modern marvels with some of the latest instrumentation on-board.
Since most care is moving away from the hospital and to the home (or remote clinic), Point-of-Care Imaging (PoCI) will become one of the most important diagnostic areas of the future.Įven though Head CT (computed tomography) is the standard method to determine stroke and identifies a wide range of abnormalities, ultrasound is slowly becoming the go-to modality for remote imaging, especially for carotid atherosclerosis, especially using Transcranial Color-Doppler imaging (TCDI). 1 killer in the US (and almost all other countries in the world): Globally, 1 in 4 people over the age of 25 are at risk for stroke during their lifetime In the US, the incidence of and deaths from Heart Disease has increased within the past 10 years (especially in rural areas). The circulatory system cannot carry oxygen and other nutrients to the body, causing the heart to stretch or stiffen, causing the kidneys to retain more fluid and salts. Its severity depends on which part of the brain is affected and can affect a person’s mobility, speech, and the ability to think and feel.Ĭongestive Heart Failure and Myocardial Infarction are chronic conditions where the heart operates less efficiently than normal. Combined, Stroke, CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) and Myocardial Infarctions (MI) are the leading causes of death and disability in the world.Ī “Stroke” happens when the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off - without blood, these brain cells get damaged and perish. We just celebrated a grim annual event - the World Stroke Day on 29th October. In this blog we will discuss how 5G technology has a profound effect on the golden hour and how this technology can save lives. Therefore, it becomes imperative for the patients with stroke to get to necessarily equipped care locations. Every minute that the blood flow is not restored in the brain (where it is lost), nearly two million additional nerve cells die. The Golden Hour is within the first hours of the Stroke or acute CHF or MI. Energy, Climate Action & Sustainability.APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift.
