LifeBot DREAMS™ …the most advanced EMS telemedicine system in the world… not just a concept any more.Disaster Relief and Emergency Medical Services, or DREAMS™ was developed using $14 million in funding through U. S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and the Telemedicine and Technology Research Center (TATRC) as a Congressionally Funded military research project. DREAMS™ has been in actual use for over six years in real-time life-saving operations aboard five ambulances in Liberty County Texas. No other system is more proven or more efficacious as an ambulance to hospital based telemedicine system. The motto for DREAMS™ is , "Saving lives in real-time."™ and it has done that longer than any other system in the history of the industry. DREAMS™ offers not only direct live transmission of voice and video but complete patient physiologic data, e.g. ECG, 12-lead STEMI, blood gases, ultrasound, e-PCR, EHR, blood pressure, and a lot more. First and foremost, One System Does It All without the need to cobble together separate products or systems. This can not only provide higher levels of care, but also save money, substantially lower the chances of risks or errors, and save lives. It is arguable the most sophisticated example of a working telemedicine system in EMS. Dan White ( from ems1.com eye-witness: view article.. ) The LifeBot® Telemedicine Crash Cart:The LifeBot Telemedicine Crash Cart utilizes DREAMS™ and is the most advanced telemedicine cart system in the world. It is designed to manage day-to-day routine telemedicine procedures but is "Multi-Function" so that it may respond fully to unexpected emergencies. view more.. | The Only System used for Emergency |
Physicians, intensivists, tele-nurses, or any specialist may use LifeBot lightweight tablet or desktop PCs to login to ambulance systems for instant remote "tele-presence". The same PCs may be used to login and be "virtually" on-the-scene to LifeBot telemedicine carts as well. view more..
Award Winning Systems Design:
Two physicians received the distinguished General Maxwell Thurman Award for their participation in the design DREAMS. This includes Dr. S. Ward Cassells, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) and Dr. James ‘Red’ Duke, Jr.
The award is given at annual meetings of the American Telemedicine Association in recognition of someone who exhibits the qualities of a natural born leader, an innovator, and a pioneer in the advancement of technology.
Video-Conferencing is Not Telemedicine.
Video alone does not provide critical patient physiological data; live clinical waveform single, 12 and 15 lead ECG, HR, NIBP, dual invasive BP, SpO2 with plethysmogram, etCO2 with capnogram, tpCO2, dual temperatures, etc.
The DREAMS™ System is the only telemedicine system in the world to transmit continuous voice, video, and live physiologic data.
If one looks at the prominent telemedicine suppliers today, you may be shocked to find out most have little or no experience in the healthcare field at all; little knowledge of medical devices and acquiring critical life-saving physiologic information. Most are dedicated to performing video teleconferencing only and have a history as only audio visual specialists. view more..

The Community Paramedicine Guide:
Community Paramedicine with DREAMS™ may be used on-board Mobile Primary Care Units (MPCU) and Multi-Function Crash Carts to deliver primary care via EMS providers, remote clinics and satellite and outpatient facilities.
This guide also is a detailed presentation on EMS Telemedicine combined with crucial Decision Support Software (DSS) and the prospects for using these technologies for substantially reducing healthcare costs.
