This population is more likely to die from five leading causes —heart disease, cancer, trauma, lung disease, and stroke—than urban Americans. These geographic health disparities are likely to grow as approximately one third of rural hospitals are at risk of closing. When hospitals close, patients cannot access advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and specialty medical services. Platform Accelerating Rural Access to Distributed & Integrated Medical care (PARADIGM) will deliver hospital-level care via a multi-purpose Care Delivery Platform (CDP) that is as convenient as telehealth. The CDP will pioneer new developments in point-of-care diagnostics, ensure seamless data exchange between medical devices and electronic health records (EHRs), and offer real-time guidance for medical tasks. The CDP is designed for large-scale deployment by healthcare systems, particularly in rural and resource-limited settings. Achieving this goal will involve multiple parallel work streams including the development of a miniaturized self-shielded CT scanner that achieves 80% reduction in size, weight, and power from standard scanners; software that connects remote medical devices with EHRs; and intelligent task guidance systems to provide real-time, interactive decision support for healthcare workers to perform functions beyond their usual training.
