A technology system soon to be installed in all Gwinnett County ambulances will allow detailed cardiovascular information about a patient to be forwarded directly to a waiting physician's mobile phone.

The LifeNet system will enable EMS crews to transmit heart monitoring information to Gwinnett Medical Center's Emergency Department. It can then be forwarded to the mobile device of the physician who will be treating the patient upon arrival.

The system is funded by donations from Cardiovascular Group, P.C. and Gwinnett Consultants in Cardiology. The two groups will service GMC’s new Heart & Vascular Center, which is under construction.

Gwinnett Medical Center is a healthcare network with hospitals in Lawrenceville and Duluth.
