Take a deep dive into the evolution of emergency response, from the innovation of using an Ambucycle to get to emergencies faster than ambulances, to the disruptive innovation of United Hatzalah's unique emergency vehicle fleet, each meeting a specific need in the field. Co-hosts Dovie Maisel, CEO of United Hatzalah Innovation, and Elad Bachar, United Hatzalah Medical Division Director, are joined by Nissan Hefetz, United Hatzalah Medical Supervisor, volunteer physician Dr. Adam Ballin, and Udi Meridor, co-founder and COO at City Transformer. They discuss the latest developments of United Hatzalah's emergency vehicle fleet, including ALS fly cars that can transport patients, a unique mobile clinic trailer equipped to treat 4 seriously wounded patients at major incidents, an MCRV with enough equipment to treat 50 patients, and a mobile command center, among others. They also discuss the invention of a brand new vehicle, the City Transformer CT-2, a micro-electric vehicle designed for urban mobility. It's a compact, foldable car with a unique feature that allows it to change its width - it can expand for highway driving and narrow itself for city parking and navigating tight urban spaces, allowing responders to improve their ability to reach scenes quickly. United Hatzalah has partnered with City Transformer, and these unique vehicles will soon be on the streets of Israel to save lives!
