Proposal: Expanding EMS Functionality in FortiPath - Relaying Vital Signs to EMS Providers

[cywf]

Hello FortiPath community! 🌟

Building on our commitment to enhancing the safety and well-being of the clients and principals under our agents' protection, we're thrilled to introduce a new proposal that could revolutionize our emergency response capabilities: Relaying Clients/Principals' Vital Signs to EMS Providers.

Objective:

To enhance our EMS feature by allowing agents to relay the vital signs of their clients/principals in real-time to EMS providers during emergencies, ensuring a more informed and efficient medical response.

Proposed Features:

1. Vital Signs Monitoring: Integrate wearable devices or apps that can monitor vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and temperature for the client/principal.

2. Real-time Data Transmission: Automatically send the monitored vital signs to EMS providers when the emergency SOS button is activated on behalf of the client/principal.

3. Historical Data Access: Allow EMS providers to access a brief history of the client's/principal's vital signs, providing context and aiding in diagnosis.

4. User Privacy Controls: Ensure agents and their clients/principals have full control over what data is shared and when, prioritizing their privacy.

5. Integration with EMS Systems: Seamlessly integrate the data transmission with local EMS systems, ensuring they receive the data in a format they can quickly interpret and act upon.

Benefits:

• Informed Response: EMS providers will have a clearer picture of the client's/principal's condition, allowing for a more targeted response.

• Faster Diagnosis: Access to real-time vital signs can speed up diagnosis and treatment, potentially saving lives.

• Enhanced Duty of Care: Equip agents with cutting-edge technology that monitors the well-being of their clients/principals and ensures rapid medical intervention when needed.

Challenges & Considerations:

• Data Accuracy: Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the vital signs data will be paramount.

• Integration Complexity: Integrating with various EMS systems and wearable devices might pose technical challenges.

• Privacy Concerns: Balancing the need for rapid response with the client's/principal's right to privacy will be crucial.

We're excited about the potential of this feature to further enhance the safety net for the individuals our agents protect. As always, your insights, feedback, and suggestions are invaluable to us. Let's discuss how we can make this vision a reality and continue to innovate for the safety of our community.
