ER-Link is the registered trade name of Medicair Inc (Wisconsin) Call for information: 1-262-677-2589
ER-Link developed their initial computer program, in 2004, to allow the transmission of vital signs over a 2400 baud bandwidth phone line. Since that time ER-Link has improved the system to allow transmission of data over a satellite phone, cell phone and blackberry. Video transmission is available on broadband systems.
The ER-Link system was developed with private funds. The entire system weighs less than five(5) pounds and fits into a space the size of a small executive briefcase.

Data can be transmitted to anyone with a computer and an encrypted password. Data is secure, per HIPPA requirements, because it is encrypted by the communicator before it is transmitted over any airway including WIFI.
This system can be used by: aircraft, ships, yachts, commercial aircraft, expeditions, trains, and many others. Sorry it will not work on a space ship due to the distance limitations of the cell phone.
The life saving information can be transmitted to the University of Pittsburg Medical Center or any authorized medical director.
A dvd is provided to demonstrate how the system works. It is recommended that ER-Link by contracted to do in-house training of all parties that might use the system. The class is a one(1) hour lecture and a general practice time of three(3) hours. The dispatchers are always there to help however they can should you forget how the system works.
Standard Telemedicine Service
From
ER-Link
Standard medical assistance is provided to clients through direct voice communications on a standard phone or aircraft/marine radio relay systems.
It is highly recommended that clients and their staff receive training in emergency medical condition recognition offered by ER-Link at the clients location. Without a monitor that can help diagnosis medical conditions the physician must rely on a non-medical person to explain what he/she see. Vital sign information from a monitor is 10,000 times better than information from a person that is under extreme pressure to do the right thing for this sick person.
Text messages can be sent by AFIS systems, cell phones and Blackberry type devices. This form of communications is discouraged due to the lengthy time to input questions and answers
