InMotion Technology worked with
the Verizon Innovation Center
to develop the first 4G LTE wireless
mobile router, which allows secure
transmission of patient data from
ambulance tablets, EKGs and other
diagnostic tools to emergency
room doctors.
We’re also using our technology to enable better patient outcomes
and control spending on healthcare, especially in underserved
communities. For example, we’ve signed on as the technology
sponsor for a project called the Clinton Health Matters Initiative,
launched by the William J. Clinton Foundation. During the next
three years we’ll go into medically disadvantaged communities
around the country and put better tools for managing health in the
hands of physicians and patients.
The goal is to create new revenue for Verizon while at the same
time transform the delivery of healthcare. Along the way, we
will use our social value metrics to measure our ability to decrease
the cost and increase the quality of care.
CHILDREN’S HEALTH FUND PARTNERSHIP
The Verizon Foundation is partnering with Children's Health Fund
(CHF) to equip mobile pediatric medical units in several key cities
with our fastest mobile data network. We want to increase access
to care for disadvantaged children who are at greater risk for
chronic disease and health problems.
We’re integrating our health-information technology into the CHF
programs, specically, mobile pediatric medical units that provide
primary care in partnership with a hospital or other medical
aliate. These units will be equipped with virtual care technology,
which lets pediatricians connect children to specialty care as the
mobile medical clinics visit schools and shelters.
The Verizon-CHF partnership will also be deploying low-cost
technology to improve patient-provider communication
and help patients follow their doctors’ instructions. This is of
particular concern in urban areas where many children are
living in shelters or other temporary environments.
IDENTIFYING NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Partnerships like these—with real-life impact—are designed to
address disparities in healthcare and improve access for those
disproportionately aected by chronic diseases, especially women,
children and seniors. These collaborations will also help us validate
how well our products improve the cost and quality of healthcare.
