LifeBot and Hewlett Packard Partner to Preview Products at HIMMS

LifeBot® has announced it has released video interviews from the HIMSS 11 Conference Hewlett Packard Exhibition in Orlando featuring renowned surgeon James 'Red' Duke, Jr. and CEO Roger Heath. The interviews also feature live demonstrations of the DREAMSTM Digital Ambulance and the LifeBot® Slate emergency telemedicine systems.

Phoenix, AZ, USA March 10, 2011: LifeBot, LLC has announced it previewed emergency telemedicine products at the annual HIMMS HealthIT Conference in Orlando with partner Hewlett Packard. Video interviews have been released featuring live demonstrations of the LifeBot® Slate, DREAMSTM Digital Ambulance, and Emergency Department Workstation teletriage telemedicine communications solutions. The interviews feature James 'Red' Duke, Jr., the famed surgeon who conceived the advanced telemedicine systems developed with the U.S. Army Materiel Command, Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), Texas A&M University, and The University of Texas at Houston.

The advanced emergency telemedicine technologies were demonstrated live utilizing powerful computing platforms provided by Hewlett Packard. The LifeBot® Emergency Department Workstation uses the HP Touchsmart 9100 Series PC to perform telemedicine, radio and telephone communications, and advanced teletriage. The LifeBot® Slate PC tablet (similar to, but smaller and more powerful than an Apple iPad) may be used to remotely connect to other LifeBot® DREAMSTM systems including telemedicine carts and ambulances. The LifeBot® Slate absolutely revolutionizes speed of care by enabling any paramedic, neurologist, trauma surgeon, emergency medical specialist to obtain immediate telepresence or remote video, voice and data connections using a simple 1.5 pound portable PC computer tablet solution.

In the HP interview entitled, "Emergency Care 2.0 with LifeBot®" Dr. Duke states, "I'm convinced...certainly LifeBot is making a major effort, with you folks at Hewlett Packard, ...and it will be common in a few years... It's just is natural with the telecommunications business exploding." Mr. Heath comments, in the interviews, that this is part of a larger plan to manage emergencies in the the home or business with his patented technologies, providing continuity of care and saving of lives much beyond simple remote monitoring of those at risk. LifeBot® also plans to expand these technologies into battlefield operations, disaster relief, and specialized emergency prehospital applications.

For those deploying interoperative emergency communications, the LifeBot® Slate and the Touchsmart platforms may also be used with the LifeBot® Communications Controller. This enables the Slate to be carried as a portable wireless device to perform both radio and telephone communications, including UHF, VHF, 800 MHz, 700 MHz, P25 and broadband voice, video, and data. Mr. Heath, CEO of LifeBot®, indicated, "This is yet another revolutionary aspect of this system. It means EMS and emergency coordinators can carry all their communications throughout an Emergency Department in just one hand or alternately use a powerful desktop EMS Workstation system." Mr. Heath commented that these interviews are just previews of what is to come in life saving technologies from LifeBot®. We are very excited about our partnership with Hewlett Packard and how our combined technologies enable these life saving systems to become the most advanced in the world.
