Telemedicine in Motion
In October of 2022, Avel eCare was selected through a competitive RFP process to be the telemedicine provider of the State of South Dakota’s new EMS program Telemedicine in Motion. EMS agencies who participate will be able to install a robust telemedicine-enabled tablet in the back of their ambulance and use the tool to call Avel eCare’s emergency medicine experts who are based in Sioux Falls. This program is a first-of-its-kind in the nation and will help sustain the future of EMS in the state.
