Providing medical services to a temporary city of transient visitors looking to have an epic experience requires significant planning and preparation. With temperatures reaching nearly 40°C/104°F in the Pemberton Valley, the possibility of heat stroke and numerous other serious or life threatening health-related emergencies is very real. The thousands of campers living on the site, moving over 100 acres of unfamiliar territory, and celebrating twenty four hours per day, presents a challenge for the medical and emergency care provider.
Rockdoc Consulting Inc. is a leading provider of medical services and health care consulting for Event Medical Services (EMS), and various industry and government organizations. CommandWear provided Rockdoc™ with a “6 Pack” portable situational awareness solution including 6 smartphones, 6 smartwatches, chargers and licenses to support 6 responders in the field, dispatch and command personnel.
