A LIFEPAD PHONE
LIFE SAFETY IN HIGH RISE FACILITIES
•
Defibrillation effectively does not exist in high rise buildings
•
As city traffic has grown, so too has the response time required for
ambulance and fire vehicles – and high rises take ~2.7 min more
•
Patient access now estimated at 10-15 minutes from the “event”
•
As with fire, cardiac and related emergencies must be addressed
in the earliest minutes or may not be retrievable
•
Passive, standalone deployment of AEDs etc. has been a failure
in large facilities, communications support is required
LEVERAGING THE SCALE OF HIGH RISES
Large facilities present challenges for EMS vehicular access, yet many
advantages for onsite responses
1. Patient access can be as short as 2-3 minutes from event onset
2. Responses by EMRs with pass keys and volunteers
3. Elevators speed access to patients and equipment
4. One EMR (responder) can protect adjacent buildings as well
5. EMS arrival consolidates rescues with aftercare, patient transport
6. Pressure relieved on EMS/9-1-1 dispatch and overcommitted
vehicles
7. Qualifies “emergencies” vs less urgent calls for 9-1-1 PSAPs
A DIRECT RESCUE STRATEGY
The LifePad Protocol offers the shortest route possible, with obvious benefits
1. A victim or witness senses a medical emergency, and presses the cellphone icon
2. A LifePad at Security receives a loud text alert, including suite number.
3. Responder enters the “key control” room, for a medical bag with an AED,
Naloxone, oxygen, bandages etc and takes the elevator
4. Opens the suite door within 2-3 minutes and assesses the emergency, updates
EMS
This direct “cut to the chase” solution is likely to become the standard for security in
the Green Buildings movement.
Heart safety is the root of life safety that cellular enables.
CENTRALIZING ONSITE COMMUNICATIONS
•
The LifePad is the first life safety phone, and introduces fixed cellular as a
new form factor – allowing victims to text a device or place instead of a person
•
The device is deployed as a front desk or security station phone
•
A Lifepad is a Blackberry Passport “phablet” affixed over a 110V outlet,
supported by a cloud network (Blackberry Enterprise Server 12)
•
Network connection is to a cellular voice account, with its own phone number
•
Integrated with cloud-based telephony and database repositories
•
Configurable for EMS, e9-1-1 local infrastructure and procedures
•
A partner for AEDs that anchors their efficient and reliable deployment
MAKING RESCUES ROUTINE NOT RARE
1. Because a LifePad can receive texts (and to date EMS Dispatch cannot) a
victim can summon help with a single icon press on their own.
2. The text will include the exact address of the victim, not just GPS coordinates –
the LifePad’s primary purpose is to protect residents and workers
3. Pre-composed texts may contain volunteered medical and risk disclosure for
that person to inform the responder of underlying conditions
4. Unwitnessed cardiac, overdose, bleeding, breathing, allergic, shock etc. events
leave the patient themselves a chance to signal security if they are conscious
5. Severe organ damage such as TBI and paralysis mitigated with short
response times
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CARDIAC SCIENCE
•
Unprecedented opportunities for Surveillance and data related to early
defibrillation, stroke intervention, drug efficacy
•
Studies of best practices around survival – not morbidity.
•
Less reliance on AED registries or public access defibrillation stations if a facility has
LifePad signaling
•
BCLS training can be centered on security personnel, improving their skills and
wages
•
Late-career EMS paramedics can continue by mentoring security staff, and impart an
understanding of local EMS infrastructure, policies, protocols and patient realities
•
Documented safety improvements will justify a transition away from over-reliance on
expensive vehicle rolls for unwarranted calls – saving municipalities millions
FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE HIGHLY SCALABLE
• Preliminary revenue projection supposes a $40/suite/month fee
• A 200 suite facility then grosses $8000 per month
• The independent Paramedic can earn ~$7000/mo
• $1000/month for the supporting network
• No individual charges for building residents or workers
• No equipment or phone account charges for the property managers
• Thousands of facilities can be supported via one large cloud network.
