Airmedic, renowned for its rapid and effective interventions, becomes the first Quebec company specializing in aeromedical care to use the EZResus application, a digital assistant developed in Quebec, designed to optimize medication dosages, suggest the appropriate equipment based on patient weight and direct care according to specific pathologies. The application, which can be used both on land and in the air, ensures optimal monitoring of patients from the moment they are taken into care until they arrive at the hospital.
The collaboration between Airmedic and EZResus marks a significant step forward in the field of emergency medical care. Together, these two industry leaders combine their expertise to strengthen the safety of care, promote local innovation and stimulate the development of new medical technologies.
“Airmedic is particularly proud to be the first aeromedical company from here to partner with a Quebec company such as EZResus, thus reinforcing our commitment to local development, excellence and innovation,” said Marie-Laure Denis, Director of Medical Operations, Airmedic. “The EZResus application allows us to standardize and improve the precision of our interventions thanks to recommendations based on up-to-date medical data. This translates into faster, more precise and better adapted care for emergency situations,” she added.
“The entire EZResus team is excited to have the opportunity to work with Airmedic,” told us Jean-Francois Couture, Director of Operations at Applications MD, the NPO that manages the EZResus application. “The primary goal of the application is to support healthcare workers who care for the sickest patients in remote and austere environments, and we couldn’t imagine a more extreme environment than in an airplane or helicopter in flight! We are really looking forward to working with their team to continue improving and optimizing our application.”
By offering the application in offline format and on all kinds of devices, the application can be used by all healthcare professionals directly at the patient’s bedside, both in pre-hospital settings in Northern Quebec and in a community or tertiary hospital center.
