NDGISUC2017 - Addressing Geographic Disparities in Access to Ambulance ServicesNorth Dakota GIS Hub
This document discusses a study that aimed to address geographic disparities in ambulance access in a Midwestern state in a cost-effective manner. The researchers developed a methodology to identify the optimal locations and minimum number of ambulance services needed to ensure all residents were within 25 miles of service while minimizing costs. Their analysis found that an optimized system of 105 services could fully cover the state at a lower overall cost than the existing 134 services. The researchers conclude their approach can help strategic planning by understanding the resource requirements and potential cost savings of addressing gaps in emergency response coverage.
H2O World - Machine Learning to Save Lives - Taposh Dutta RoySri Ambati
The document discusses how Kaiser Permanente is using machine learning to develop an early warning system (EWS) to predict unplanned transfers from medical/surgical wards to the intensive care unit (ICU). The EWS, called Advanced Alert Monitoring (AAM), analyzes patient data like vitals, labs, demographics and comorbidities to identify patients at risk of deterioration in the next 12 hours. When AAM exceeds a threshold, clinicians receive a pop-up alert to intervene early and potentially prevent ICU transfers. Kaiser is continuously improving AAM by refining the model and validating predictions to help save lives through integrated, technology-enabled care delivery.
This presentation shows the work which me a two team mates did within a one week brief. The subject matter was the organic city and finding ways we can use the city to create a more functional and effective system which would benefit cities around the world.
Our choice was to focus on Health and Transport and designed a new system which incorporates these two aspects into potentially a more productive form of healthcare in major cities.
We mind mapped, researched and developed a system to construct a final concept. Tram rails and hospital care would be used to create a range of different services such as:
1) Hospital trams - Uses Tram rails to avoid and gain priority over traffic
Transport patients much faster
Cut out sharp street corners and bumps in the road for smoother journeys
2) Medical campuses - Transport medical supplies more efficiently across cities to different medical campuses
Allow more areas for immediate medical attention
3) Patient Monitors - Allow faster medical attention to patients under caution.
This system would aim to be implemented in medium sized cities already with a tram line such as Manchester (UK). With more success it could mean that new cities being built could implement this tram oriented healthcare and the economy could be layed out around it so that the systems healthcare can be given priority over other forms of transport in the city making the system much more efficient. In the future it could also evolve to be implemented in all cities around the world once it has been proven to work and would mean that a more thriving healthcare can me developed on a global scale creating better service for everyone.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."

Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

3. Medical Personnel on the Course
The marathon has one of the best medical teams in the industry and
is led by Medical Director, Dr. Bill Roberts. On average, one to three
percent of every 1,000 entrants will seek medical assistance along
the course or at the finish line. With that in mind, 300 medical
personnel are positioned along the course and at the finish line. All
medical personnel can be identified by their orange vests and all are
trained to assist in medical care. A medical team will be assigned to
each aid station along the course. There are also medical volunteers
stationed at many of the mile and half-mile marks of the race course.
Communications personnel in yellow shirts are paired with
the medical volunteers to provide access to mobile medical
teams and ambulance services. Seriously injured or ill runners
will be transported to the nearest hospital from any of the Medical
Aid Stations on the course, and well runners who drop out of the
race will be taken to the finish area. Medical volunteers will have first
aid supplies at every medical location.

16. HC Command Truck Mesh Upgrades
• We have had excellent results for ten years borrowing a
communications vehicle (ICC) and volunteer team
from the Hennepin County Sherriff. The primary
mission is missing runner tracking and family
reunification. They run one of the four injured runner
tracking radio nets. The vehicle is the interface
between the medical volunteers (mostly Amateur
Radio) and Marathon rented radio system and the
Statewide ARMER radio network.
• At the recent Red White and Boom Half Marathon
(7/4/19) the volunteer team was directed by Hennepin
Healthcare to coordinate EMS dispatch for the event.
We also tested a new mesh live video system that can
cover downtown Minneapolis or St Paul, using new
rooftop antennas.
• We just added mesh antennas and radios to a second
Hennepin Country vehicle (ICP), for similar role
17. Project List 02/20
• Add more mesh stations – Metro counties (Bloomington),
Hennepin Healthcare, Dakota County
• Packet link upgrade- Rush City (Duluth) + Rochester
• FM/(Fusion -DARC) Repeaters St Paul, Minneapolis
