Under the deal, the companies are responsible for creating a dual persona mobile solution that would transport unclassified medical data shared between field medics and treatment facilities through a classified tactical network.

The new solution will enable field medics to transfer life-saving medical data from the battlefield while keeping it unclassified. This helps avoid critical delays caused by declassifying data.

“Real-time delivery of patient data to medical personnel eliminates the need to declassify information, which currently can take hours or even days.”

Cog co-founder and chief marketing officer Carl L Nerup said: “Going to a mobile process in a secure manner is a critical leap forward that will save lives and improve care, and we are proud to be part of this effort.”

The embedded capability will also help offer a two-way channel for telemedicine teams on unclassified networks to communicate with combat medics on the battlefield in real time.
