The Federal Agency for Advanced Health Research Projects (ARPA-H) announced the 12 teams selected by its platform by accelerating rural access to the distributed and integrated medical care program (paradigm) to receive awards. The program aims to create a multifunctional platform for resistant electric vehicles equipped with advanced medical devices to provide hospital care in rural communities throughout the country.
If it succeeds, the mobile platform will offer many advanced services, including multiple cancer, hemodialysis and perinatal care exams. By eliminating the need for fixed locations, this platform can provide medical care even to the most remote areas, allowing rural patients to access the care they need in their own communities.
The 12 teams selected by Paradigm are working in five technical areas:
• Decentralize hospital care, including the real world evaluation of clinical workflows enabled for the platform in remote areas
• Integrate advanced medical devices into a mobile vehicle platform
• Establish a safe network that perfectly connects devices with electronic health records systems
• Creation of a resistant mobile size CT scanner and
• Develop intelligent tasks orientation support to increase mobile health workers, allowing them to perform more efficiently.
The teams begin through the development of central components, and those with the most convincing demonstrations will integrate their capabilities into a comprehensive platform. The teams that work in the search for each technical area include:
Technical Area 1: Decentralized approach to hospital care. These artists will test the platform capacity to admit dozens of clinical workflows in remote areas.
• Homeward Health Inc., Kentwood, Mich., Will design and test a mobile care model, based on the procedure, using community participation, humans -centered design and associations to improve clinical effectiveness and access In rural areas.
• Brigham & Women’s Hospital will provide innovative and high impact attention by taking advantage of their experience in hospital care and the design focused on the human being through its acute mobile center of the Home Rural Hospital.
• The medical staff of the Nursing College of the University of Utah and its Huntsman AT Home initiative will provide comprehensive cancer services through mobile platforms.
Technical Area 2: Integration of the Attention Provision Platform
• The Mission Mobile Medical Group, from Greensboro, NC, will use its care for “pods” modular that can be exchanged in different combinations, such as load containers on a train, for different cases of medical use.
• 10xbeta LLC, in Brooklyn, NY, will develop a highly modular care infrastructure where interchangeable modules admit clinical use cases.
• Planned Systems International (PSI), in Columbia, Maryland, will take advantage of a multipurpose vehicle platform and a unique “arm and shelf design” for effective clinical workflows.
Technical Area 3: Medical IoT platform
• The Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard’s Faculty of Medicine will use the Apiary Docbox platform to create a Plug-And-Play environment for interoperable medical devices, guaranteeing safety and scalability in medical care environments.
• SRI International, by Menlo Park, California, will use its medical interoperability platform, poet, to integrate various medical devices into limited environments for resources.
Technical Area 4: Resistant Computer Tomography Scanner
• The Massachusetts General Hospital will design a complete carbon nanotube CT scanner, which offers an improved angular resolution and flexible implementation for horizontal and vertical applications.
• Micro-X Inc., from Seatac, Washington, will use its light CT scanner based on carbon nanotubes designed for mobile care and capable of expanding access to images to unattended communities and radiology deserts.
Technical Area 5: Intelligent task orientation
• SRI International will use its multiple label system to support doctors in multiple tasks, taking advantage of state -of -the -art automatic learning and a specialized clinical language model.
• The University of Michigan will use its vigil platform to equip medical generalists with support of guided tasks by AI, allowing specialized attention to which it can often be accessed through specialists on the site.
In a statement, David Levine, MD, MPH, MA, Clinical Director of Research and Development of Mass Brigham Healthcare at home and the director of the HOME HOME DE ARIADNE LABS HOSPITAL program, “The United States Health System It generally focuses its most advanced abilities around hospitals. And associated facilities, however, many patients cannot access this care. Our goal is to democratize access to hospital care, combining our experience in human -centered design, home technology, implementation and hospital of rural homes to touch patients at common critical moments of their lives. We want to create a profitable and scalable solution for all the United States “
