corpuls Introduces the Tele-Emergency Doctor to Bavaria
eurofunk is responsible for establishing tele-emergency doctor workstations and facilitating seamless communication with integrated control centers and emergency services.
INTRODUCTION OF A GROUNDBREAKING SYSTEM
After GS Elektromedizinische Geräte G. Stemple GmbH(“corpuls“) from Kaufering won the tender from the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior as a system supplier, the largest federal state in Germany will benefit from a new era in medicalemergency assistance. As a subcontractor, eurofunk will provide all IT technology, digital radio connections, and the most modern 24/7 eDESKc control center desks along with the associated furniture for the three planned tele-emergency doctor control centers in Bavaria.
PROJECT START AND EXPANSION
The first tele-emergency doctor control center is expected to be operational by late 2024 or early 2025 in Bogen, near Straubing. By that time, ambulances will begin utilizing the support of a centrally located tele-emergency doctor. Over the followingyears, two additional tele-emergency doctor locations will be established, with approximately 800 ambulances beinggradually equipped for tele-emergency doctor support.
eurofunk is excited to contribute to this significant advancement in emergency medical assistance and to help ensure statewide tele-emergency doctor support across Bavaria in collaboration with corpuls.
Unique Features of the Tele-Emergency Doctor Project
According to the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, this „nationwide unique tele-emergency doctor project“ aims to equip all 800 Bavarian ambulances with telemedical devices. This setup will enable communication with tele-emergencydoctors at the TNA location using Corpuls‘ tele-emergencydoctor software.
eurofunk will supply critical IT technology and integrate status and alert systems between the integrated control centers and the emergency doctor control center. The tele-emergencydoctor will be managed as a resource within the integratedcontrol center, which will facilitate alerts during ambulanceoperations and allow for handling multiple operationssimultaneously. These solutions were developed andimplemented in collaboration with the project team.
The standardized system technology across the three tele-emergency doctor locations will enable mutual support and substitution, improving the efficiency of emergency rescueservices through this advanced digital resource.
HEART OF THE SOLUTION
At the heart of the solution is the medical communicationplatform corpuls.mission, which seamlessly connects all units involved in the operation. The existing corpuls defibrillators
in Bavarian ambulances work in conjunction with the
corpuls.mission software.
“With the introduction of the tele-emergency doctor, patients receive faster medical assistance, and the shortage ofemergency doctors is effectively addressed. On-site personnel can access the expertise of the tele-emergency doctor in real-time, who is integrated into the medical care process. The doctor receives critical medical data such as ECG readings, videos, and photos directly from the scene or the ambulance, with the patient’sconsent,“ explains Christoph Graumann, head of the corpulsdivision.
Following the initial implementation at the East location inBogen near Straubing, two additional locations are planned across Bavaria.
