An industrial health nurse struggles to perform CPR on an unresponsive truck driver in a semi truck cab due to the physical inaccessibility and lack of equipment to safely extract and treat the patient.
No purpose-built solution exists for performing emergency medical care in the confined, elevated space of a semi truck cab; standard CPR techniques and equipment are not designed for this environment.
Workarounds Described
- nurse had to physically haul a 300lb unresponsive man out of the truck cab by herself
- nurse forgot office keys in the rush
- nurse relied on verbal instructions to security and coordinator, which were not fully followed
Implied Software Gaps
- Mobile emergency response app with pre-configured alerts and task assignments for on-site responders
- Automated extraction assistance device to reduce physical strain on rescuers
- Integration with truck telematics to unlock doors and lower seats remotely
CabMed Rescue Platform
CabMed Rescue is a mobile app and hardware kit designed for industrial health nurses and safety coordinators to manage medical emergencies in truck cabs. It provides step-by-step CPR guidance optimized for confined spaces, integrates with IoT sensors to lower the cab seat and alert emergency services, and includes a mechanical lift assist device to safely remove unresponsive patients. The system streamlines communication with security and EMS, reducing response time and rescuer strain.
- Confined-space CPR guidance with audio and visual cues
- One-tap emergency alert to on-site safety team and dispatch
- Integration with truck cab IoT to lower seat and open doors remotely
- Lightweight mechanical lift assist (storable in nurse's bag) for safe patient extraction
- Post-incident debrief and injury tracking for rescuer well-being
