National University of Rosario and EXO to send a second mobile health station to Haiti

After the first mobile prototype was installed in a hospital in Puerto Príncipe, another will be shipped with new features and technology from EXO, which recently received approval from the National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT, for its Spanish acronym). Guillermo Bill, Coordinator of the Telemedicine Network of the Americas and Coordinator of the General Secretary of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the National University of Rosario, told Convergencia that the equipment - the size of a notebook - was intended as a tool to carry solutions to populations isolated or affected by a natural disaster, so that they can connect with a specialist in a remote manner, through videoconference. It is capable of recording parameters such as respiration, oximetry, heart rate, blood pressure and surface temperature, among others, and may include diagnostic devices for imaging, examination and auscultation.
