Emergency response healthcare startup Wecomet Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Jeong-hoon) announced on the 30th that it has signed a contract with the Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Jeju fire departments to supply the infant transport equipment 'BabyPod20 (hereinafter referred to as BabyPod)'.
Wecomet has supplied BabyPods to fire departments in Sejong, North Chungcheong, and South Gyeongsang Province, and with this contract, plans to supply an additional 43 units to strengthen the safety of transporting newborns and infants and improve the on-site response capabilities of paramedics.
BabyPod is constructed of high-strength carbon fiber, making it lightweight and durable. With a width of just 1 meter, it can be used in confined spaces, such as ambulances and helicopters. Furthermore, it allows for X-ray and CT scans without moving the infant, facilitating rapid diagnosis and treatment by medical staff.
In particular, the product is equipped with ▲a stretcher fixing belt that can support up to 900 kg ▲a position fixing belt that minimizes movement ▲foam that absorbs external shocks ▲a WarmGel mattress that provides heat retention, etc., which reduces shaking of the infant's head, feet, and sides and ensures safe transport even in emergency situations.
Currently, BabyPod is being used in various countries, including the air transport service of the British Children's Hospital, the German ADAC Air Rescue Service, and the disaster relief and emergency transport operations of the Brazilian Air Force and Navy, and its effectiveness as an emergency transport device is recognized worldwide.
Lee Jeong-hoon, CEO of Wicomet, said, “Babypod is a device optimized for pregnant women giving birth and infant transport services, and its special feature is that it minimizes damage that may occur during transport.” He added, “We will continue to cooperate with fire departments and emergency medical facilities to help create an environment where newborns and infants can be transported more safely.”
Meanwhile, Wecomet is conducting training programs for business-to-business (B2B) and government-to-public (B2G) transactions using Innosunion's CPR mannequin, "BRAYDEN." It also operates a self-directed CPR training program through "BRAYDEN Online." To date, approximately 25,000 people have received safety training.
