California fire department employs Samsung Mobile devices to meet first responder challenges

Corona Fire Department in California is transforming how it delivers intelligence to its first responders with Samsung mobile devices. Equipped with Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) and ImageTrend software, Samsung Galaxy Tab S4s and S10s help the city’s firefighters and paramedics better understand and communicate with each other throughout emergency situations, as well as streamline reporting. Secured by Samsung Knox security platform, the devices are safely encrypted and HIPAA-compliant.

Samsung devices have also fundamentally changed day-to-day protocols of Corona’s EMS personnel. Having a tablet allows mobile access to online medical databases and clinical encyclopedias, and enables communication via translation for patients who speak different languages than their responding EMS personnel. Data entry capabilities have also been upgraded through the use of cloud-based records management software (RMS), which streamlines EMS reporting and allows these responders to complete all necessary intake forms on the go and save valuable time—instead of waiting to return to the station.
