Verizon has selected five companies to take part in the fourth cohort of its 5G First Responder Lab as part of its continued commitment to invest in public safety and support first responders.
The companies will work together to accelerate 5G development of solutions to common challenges along the EMS/patient journey from pre-incident and emergency response to treatment and recovery, all powered by Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network.
The companies participating in this cohort include:
- Biotricity: Focuses on near real-time remote medical monitoring
- Rave Mobile Safety: Offers a critical communications and data sharing platform
- DispatchHealth: Provides on-call medical care to your door
- Vuzix: Uses augmented reality to better inform First Responders
- Visionable: Provides a platform for near real-time medical collaboration
Over the next six months, these companies will have access to Verizon 5G specialists, engineers and Verizon’s 5G network to further develop their solutions using 5G’s high speed and ultra-low latency capabilities.
