MedicCast host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic is joined by Chris Montera, host of the EMS Garage, and Tom Bouthillet, host of the EMS 12-Lead podcast to continue the time-honored tradition of sharing innovative products with the ProMed Network audience. Jamie’s product pick for EMS Today 2013 is the clinical version of the iSpO2 mobile pulse oximeter from pulse oximetry leaders Masimo.
This is the clinical version of the acclaimed consumer product of the same name that connects to the user’s smartphone and makes that mobile platform a pulse oximetry device. See Jamie’s interview from this year’s consumer electronic show (CES 2013) on the Health Tech Weekly podcast for that device.
Steve Heightman from Masimo sits down and shows off the soon to be released clinical version of the device which will be FDA approved soon for use by EMS and other health care professionals. Check out the iSpO2 on it’s website.

Jamie Davis, the Podmedic and Rick Russotti from the Mitigation Journal kick off the first full day at the Public Health Preparedness Summit with a look at the varied attendees at this conference. An international group of public health officials are in attendance from countries like China and South Korea, as well as others.
Preparedness is Universal
Rick points out that preparedness issues for public health professionals are somewhat universal. No matter what disaster you are preparing for, the challenges of providing for the population in its aftermath are the same. Whether it’s a tsunami, earthquake, hurricane or tornado the victims and survivors have the same daily needs for their continued health as the recovery proceeds.
Rick Russotti from the Mitigation Journal joins Jamie Davis from the MedicCast to look at some of the response resources available from some of the vendors on the show floor at the Public Health Preparedness Summit. In the background in this video segment from the exhibit hall is just one of the large modular tent support structures that can house medical and other response facilities on location following a disaster.
Rick points out that these structures make it possible to provide a more normal standard of care for individuals following a disaster. This is a better level of care than has been expected by public health officials in the past where they are only expecting to be able to provide a “sufficiency of care.”
