Description
ICEmedic app is a part of the ICE Medic program used by paramedics and first responders to retrieve Emergency Medical Information (EMI) about a member during an emergency.
How does it work?
During an emergency, the time used by paramedic personnel to request Emergency Medical Information from the patient/victim before being able to offer the first aid, is known as the "Critical Time".
The aim of ICEmedic is to reduce this "Critical Time" and provide the paramedics with the appropriate EMI needed, in case the patient is unconscious or in a critical condition.
ICE Medic program provides its members the ability to administer their EMI in a centralized system. During an emergency, the first responders and paramedics personnel on the scene, retrieve and use this information before giving the member the needed first aid.
The scope of the EMI collected, managed and presented to paramedics, would be limited to a subset of medical data and current treatments; specifically only those with critical attributes that anyone providing emergency medical assistance would want/need to know. For instance, blood type, drug allergies, prevailing medical conditions or diseases, past surgeries or anatomical anomalies, current medication and treatments etc. The provided information is combined with the emergency contact details such as member's- primary, doctor, insurance and pharmacy contacts.
