Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing improved medical care. A system includes a defibrillator, a gateway device, a routing device, and a wireless modem. The system may further include hardware and/or software components located at a remote facility for receiving data and one or more server devices for decoding data from the remote facility. A method includes acquiring medical data at a first location, converting the medical data from an analog signal to a digital signal, transmitting the digital signal from the first location to a second location over the internet via a cellular network, receiving the digital signal at the second location, and converting the digital signal back to an analog signal for processing. The first location may be an EMS vehicle, and the second location may be a remote facility, such as a dispatch center or local hospital.
