Stat is re-imagining emergency medical service (EMS). With a simple tap, the smartphone app matches patient/requestors with the closest available paramedic crew, once connected they connect via video call (i.e. Facetime type video), which we call teleparamedics. Stat gives EMS crews the ability to verify true needs of the patient, what equipment is needed, or if the ambulance should even be sent. Stat saves lives by giving EMS crews the ability to route the right equipment to the right place at the right time, as well as help the patient before they arrive.Cities across the United States are having EMS budget slashed, which is leading to longer response times or shortage of EMS crews (i.e. see Detroit, S.F.or D.C.). Stat can better utilize these crews with our technology.
