AI Contract Overview

The Department of Defense, through the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic, is seeking information on commercially available wireless hands-free communication devices for use by the Air Force Medical Service at Medical Treatment Facilities and Deployed Medical Facilities. These devices should be lightweight, secure, wireless, ruggedized, and capable of near-real-time or instant communication among healthcare providers, staff, and potentially patients using voice commands. The system should support operation over existing wireless local area networks or provide infrastructure for environments with poor cell reception and maintain acceptable electromagnetic interference levels. The intended use includes enhancing collaborative patient care and supporting mass casualty planning and operations. This Request for Information (RFI) is solely for gathering data to facilitate planning and future procurement and does not constitute a solicitation or contract offer. Vendors are invited to submit non-proprietary information by August 4, 2011, including company details, product capabilities, purchase pricing, and distributor or manufacturer status.

Full Description

Responses are due 04 August 2011. Request for Information (RFI) - Wireless Hands-free Internal Communications Device The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARSYSCEN) Atlantic, Code 6.3.2.0 is seeking information on commercially-available communication devices operating over a wireless local area network (WLAN) for use by the Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) at Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) and Deployed Medical Facilities (DMFs). Device characteristics that will support these capabilities include a system that is light-weight, secure, hands-free, wireless, and ruggedized with instant or near-real-time communication among providers, staff, and potentially patients. This collaborative form of patient care will enhance communication and clarification of healthcare treatment plans and protocols; using a single voice command to automatically notify appropriate personnel. The device will be able to operate using current infrastructure or provide infrastructure for future wireless applications where cell phone reception is poor with acceptable levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI). The solution will also serve as part of mass casualty planning and operations.
