TORONTO, May 14, 2019 — Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE: SNA) (CSE: SNA.CN) (OTCQB: SNAVF) (“Star†or the “Companyâ€) announces that the Company has entered into a long-term agreement with AMS Heli Design (“AMSâ€) of Denison, Texas. (www.amsheli.com)
AMS is a Helicopter EMS Interior provider, specializing in Air
Ambulance configuration through the use of new lightweight materials and
new generation technologies.
As a result of this agreement, the parties are now offering the
STAR-ISAMM™ System as part of the Helicopter Emergency Medical Services
(“HEMSâ€) configuration. STAR-ISAMM™ interfaces with existing bio-medical
equipment aboard a medical evacuation and transport helicopter or
airplane. It securely transmits the patients’ vital signs and other
critical information directly to receiving hospital physicians through
SATCOM or GSM, while at the same time providing tracking and location of
the vehicle. These data services allow early patient assessment and
initiation of the best possible care plan, well before the patient
arrives at the facility.
The STAR-ISAMM™ System was first successfully presented live in
Montreal at the end of 2018, to the private sector and to government
bodies. It will be fitted into an integrated EMS kit by AMS and sold
initially to the USA and Canada by AMS, leveraging on its expertise in
helicopters and established presence and from 2020 in all world regions.
The STAR-ISAMM™ System is the result of the combined efforts of both
the Company’s’ internal R&D department and those of its Montreal
subsidiary, STAR-ISONEO INC. and is an innovative application of the
Company’s patented STAR-ISMS® technology.
Andrea Girolin, CEO at AMS said:
“Our vision is to support customers with EMS interiors meeting their
operational requirements using new technologies and materials, being
light weight, solid, safe and durable.â€
J-L Larmor, VP Corporate Development at Star, said:
“Star has now a unique and leading position in the HEMS sector, being
able to not only provide Airborne Data Services to the aerospace
industry but expanding our breadth to serve the EMS sector by providing
medical data services. Both AMS and Star are excited about being world
leaders in providing the best health care for EMS patients.â€
