First Responder Mobile Computers
MEDCP - Mobile Emergency Data Collection Platform
MEDCP
(Mobile Emergency Data Collection Platform) provides real-time, portable
data collection and wireless communication of test equipment data readings
for emergency incident response. First responders such as DHS, NTSB, NEMA
and state EMT's use our mobile computer system to collect readings from any
serial test device, append GPS location, and transmit data via wide area network
(such as GPRS or CDMA) to a command post or headquarters. The system is applicable
to bio-terrorism defense, as well as other types of emergency response.
"When life is on the line, you have no time to fumble with paper and pencil data collection. Use MEDCP to rapidly assemble an overall picture using real-time measurements from field."
MEDCP combines several technologies that bring lab test capabilities to the incident site on a handheld device. These technologies include on-board global positioning (GPS), wide area network (WAN) communications, generic serial interface to all specialized test equipment and barcode scanning. Data readings from monitoring equipment (biological, chemical and radiological detectors, medical diagnostic equipment) are electronically captured by MEDCP, correlated with absolute GPS locations, and submitted to the agency central server for real-time analysis. This allows headquarters analysts to create 'hot-zone' maps and make critical decisions for public safety in real-time mode.
The system integrates with multiple software packages. We offer an MT137 form, a generic triage form, custom forms designed for your specific needs, as well as GPS mapping software from ESRI ArcPad. The user can enter data using the mobile computer's keypad, stylus, or barcode reader.
