Telemedicine: como is the device used by specialists in Antarctica

Tania Acosta is a doctor and a first woman who invested in the antarctic base of San Martin, ubicada debajo del arculos polar antártico. There are only five people living there during the year: people who naturally need to be in good health, and with whom we must continue their corresponding medical checks.

It’s important to know that, under the guise of legion, people are under the supervision of medical professionals only from the base, so that they can consult with specialists from the continent. How do you feel about it? Thanks to technology ”, explains the Captain Médica Soledad Rivero, cardiologist, Chief of the Health Division of the commanding officer Antarctic and reveals that in San Martín there is a Center for Diagnostic Movement (CDM) that the company of technological solutions Exo developed together with the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the National University of Rosario.

What exactly is Exo’s CDM? The livian and small structure team is thought to study local patient, highlight the results that maintain a secure form, synchronize with the cloud and transmit them remotely to the specialist doctor. It is very easy to use and can be operated by sanitary and nursing agents.

It is in the interest of the device to be exchanged between radical health agents in its capacity to provide an immediate and economical solution to the health professionals’ needs in terms of health.

Hablamos de la Antártida pero también de otros sitios remotos como mines, oil rigs, military bases, boats, planes, emergency zones, rural areas, people, including urban areas where the emergency medical specialists. Because there are many places where the professionals of health and medical equipment do not need to cover the needs of the people.

It’s the specialists – in the case of cardiologists, or the neuronologists – they are radiating in large cities, and if they are waiting for the inhabitants of alienated zones to have large distances. This transfer can generate risks for the patient’s health, impede temper tense and also increase costs. Closure: the distances result in an impediment to an optimal medical attention.

Exo’s CDM responds precisely to the new imperatives of remote medical assistance. “The team provides us with the assistance of all days”, Acosta explains. “We carry out routine checks and the relevance of vital signs, which can be done with great speed and practicality. “There are many more ways to reach patients, it’s better to have an abortion,” explains the doctor. For its part, Rivero details that lasbasisse Belgrano II, Orcadas, Esperanza (the only one with families), Marambio (the most popular) y el buque rompehielos Almirante Irízar cuentan también con sus CDM which includes being able to use the free air and conduct the consultation, which results especially valiantly during camp work.

Seun muchas las pathologies where the immediate response results vital, This is the most emblematic example of myocardial infarction attacks: the medical emergence that produces mayor mortality and disability in the world. A quarter of the patients with myocardial infarction mueren, the 50 per cent in the first hour. Between the causes appear the demos in the traslados of domicile or between centers.

Encounter the CDM, which has an Intel Celeron N3450 processor, can make the difference between life and death. The team results in very easy to use and not only produces the medicine, but also transmits from each patient the biological parameters of the patient: from electrocardiogram of 12 derivations up to cardiac frequency, passing through respiratory frequency, respirator. The transmission is carried out through non-mobile networks such as Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G and including satellite. Además no solo es inalámbrico.

The specialist medicine can share the studios of any device, at any time and at any moment. It is also possible to have an integrated video recorder, without importing the distance or the job. Sucede that this contact only facilitates the diagnostic, meaning that it also has burning knowledge of the operator that is next to the patient, with which he can interact to detect issues such as the color of the skin.

At the extreme receptor (as well as the sanitary center or the specialist medical center) only need a smartphone or computer with connectivity requirements. The studios can be shared with the medical in real time or secured in a secure-written and digital company for their diagnostic posterior, always preserving the patient’s confidential dates.

During an eventual emergency, the medical attention center can retrieve the vital parameters of the patient before they leave, which will accelerate their reception and attention. In addition, the CDM can integrate the use of Medikro spirometers to perform a complete evaluation of the pulmonary function.

For more reasons than not knowing the telemedicine is high in all types, but in reality we have a long history of developing data with a Impressive technology transfer: only in Exo it is possible to find advances as a mobile nursing module, portable electrocardiogram monitor and mobile spirometers, in addition to being distributors of one of the main brands of world spirometry systems.

The meta is the specialist medicine in rural areas, small areas or areas that are within 200 kilometers of the Capital, but wherever they are and access to a medical specialist can be complicated.

“Last year we saw how the professionals of health care were being rebuilt into the digital health care system in a very short time. I am very proud of the fact that it is a success, ”Rivero said. And he concludes: another way to guarantee specialized medical attention to places where you are staying and hosts like the Antarctic Argentina ”.
