Floydada EMS used the NextGen911 kit during a drill on May 1, demonstrating its effectiveness in a rural environment. Highlights included the use of an ultrasound device, a digital exam camera, and a digital otoscope—all of which have the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes.

During the exercise, Floydada EMS also conducted a Zoom meeting to share images and live video feeds with another test kit. Both systems operated successfully using mobile hotspots, showing the feasibility of remote connectivity in the field.

The training demonstrated how both traditional and modern EMS equipment can be integrated to enhance patient care and improve outcomes, especially in rural settings.

A special thank you to Briona Sattarphai, LMSW, Executive Director, and the Eastland County Crisis Center for partnering with us to make this possible.

And sometimes, rural Texas reminds you you're not alone out here...even the local goats stopped by to supervise.
