The partnership is expected to boost these offerings with Allm’s next-generation technologies and medical communications platforms designed for mobile diagnostic solutions and acute and home care.

Allm CEO Teppei Sakano said: “Together, we can speed up the implementation and adoption of mobile medical solutions to streamline time-critical care delivery for better clinical outcome, workflow efficiency improvement, and tangible benefits to all stakeholders.”

Allm developed a smartphone application called Fast-ED to deliver in-field assistance to ambulances and emergency responders who needed to assess the condition of stroke patients in case of an emergency.

Its MySOS first-aid support and personal health record app is also meant to support emergency medical services and minimise medical treatment costs.
