As the PCC Leadership Summit 2024 comes to a close, we are filled with pride and gratitude for the opportunity to be part of such a pivotal event. This year’s summit was a great opportunity to discuss topics around this year’s theme: Help Us, Help You.
We were happy to listen in on some great presentations by Urgences Santé and Ambulance St- Gabriel, to have been interviewed by Le Soleil newspaper about the eFX, and of course, to conduct several demos throughout the 3 days.
On the second day of meetings, we had the opportunity to present to the PCC board, sharing the latest news as a manufacturer. Alain Brunelle, CEO of Demers-Braun-Crestline-Medix, also took the stage to tell the story of the Demers eFX Ambulance.
At lunchtime, on Wednesday, the eFX parked at the Quebec City convention center where it made its way close to Parliament Hill for an event reserved for members of the National Assembly and select government officials.
Showcase of Innovation: The Demers eFX Ambulance
One of the highlights for us was the chance to showcase our cutting-edge Demers eFX Ambulance, the first ever electric ambulance designed by and for paramedics. We were curious to get feedback from attendees, so we conducted a short questionnaire.
Here are some responses we received:
- The top 3 features of the eFX chassis were the: Maneuverability, the fact that it’s a 100% electric, and the adaptive suspension.
- We also asked what their favourite features of the CyberKar screen, here were the top 3: it integrates all the ambulance controls in a single touchscreen, the size and user friendliness, its ability to replicate smartphone, tablet or computer on the screen.
- Most important feature in the care module: The FX action seat, the swiveling working surfaces and larger area
- The most appealing feature of the FX Action Seat: The 4-pt harness that allows you to stand up while buckled in
What area will the eFX help the most with: Providing paramedics with a more ergonomic, comfortable and safe work tool
We also asked,
What is the most important benefit of the eFX for you?
Most popular answer: Being able to provide paramedics with a more ergonomic, comfortable and safe vehicle.
What our team looks forward to most every year is the opportunity to connect with our partners and the broader emergency medical services community. This year, we had meaningful conversations that prioritize the safety of paramedics, support their psychological health and wellbeing, foster a better workplace culture, and drive innovation. The insights we have gathered will play a crucial role in driving our innovation and enhancing our product offerings to better serve the emergency medical services community.
Thank you to everyone who visited our booth and attended the demos. It was a pleasure to answer your questions. Together, we can continue to elevate the standards of care for both paramedics and patients.
