Real-time clinical guidance for mobile health workers

Across the rural US, healthcare is
sometimes overlooked,
often understaffed,
always vital,
and mostly stretched thin.

Rural healthcare needs an adrenaline shot.

ARPA-H's Paradigm program takes one bite of the problem by funding a high-tech mobile health truck, armed with skilled staff, advanced technology, and new healthcare funding models to get better care to the people that need it.

Our concept for an onboard truck assistant is Field Guider, an open source software service that:

  • lives on the mobile health truck, phone, and AR goggles,
  • works with healthcare workers in real-time to co-diagnose, co-treat patients for better health outcomes,
  • and provides in-encounter training, through visual and aural clinical decision support nudges to up-skill staff.

The future of rural healthcare is...

  • Care at home, in your neighborhood
  • The clinician comes to you
  • Worry-free, urgent care
  • Clinic on wheels w/CT, imaging
  • Realtime augmented CDS support tools (for mobile clinic clinicians and community healthcare workers)
  • With a phone, 24-365 access to primary care, broadband everywhere
