PRIME (PRe-hospital Information and Monitoring E-system)

Lead Participant: RINICARE LIMITED

Abstract

Rinicare's Pre-hospital Information and Monitoring E-system (PRIME) proposes to develop a
mobile health information and monitoring platform aimed to optimise patient pathways in prehospital
healthcare and ambulance services' efficient performance.
PRIME's proof-of-concept (PoC) will assess the technical feasibility of creating an intuitive
and rich patient electronic form (eForm) that considers NHS requirements and the paramedics'
mobile environment, procedures and workflow, integrating real-time continuous recordings of
patients' vital signs and multimedia data (written and audio notes, images and high-definition
video). The PRIME eForm can be seamlessly shared with remote specialists (telehealth) to
assist early and accurate assessment of patients' condition and the provision of treatment
advice to paramedics on site and in the ambulance.
PRIME innovation will impact pre-hospital healthcare on the ability to sustainably develop
ambulance services and their increasingly active role in healthcare, improve patient
satisfaction as well as the NHS new competitive nature, cost savings effort, paperless
approach and integrated care vision, in the name of quality and excellence in healthcare
delivery.
