CYBERNET MEDICAL HELPS DISASTER VICTIMS WITH MEDSTAR™

Cybernet Medical has released an early version of its new portable medical kiosk product -- the MedStar Orion -- to support health assessment and monitoring of persons displaced from routine medical care by disasters and other crisis situations. MedStar Kiosks are currently deployed in the Houston Astrodome, George R. Brown Center, and the Reliant Center helping victims of Hurricane Katrina stay healthy.

The MedStar Orion Health Kiosk consists of three parts:

  1. The patient health record entry terminal
  2. The Health Kiosk, where vital signs are collected
  3. A secure, web-based electronic patient medical record (EMR) that performs automatic triage and can alert proper medical care providers of developing patient complications

If you would like more information on the MedStar Orion, contact us directly at 1-800-CYBERNET.
