Overview
In Montreal, analog paper triage tags contribute to a 30% triage error rate, $1.7B in annual malpractice losses, and 10.5-hour average ER wait times. ResQ-Link replaces paper tags with a zero-power passive NFC bracelet. • Inductive copper coil (no battery required), passive NFC chip, IP68 medical-grade silicone band with translucent overmolded seal • SmartTriage companion dashboard — real-time bracelet location maps, tag management (Morgue / Immediate / Delayed / Minor), registered staff tracking • Offline-mesh data sync so patient data reaches the hospital even when cellular fails • Business model: hardware 'Blade' at $1.50/unit + software 'Razor' SaaS at $10k–$50k/facility/year Targeting a $750k seed round for a MUHC 5,000-unit pilot, with Health Canada Class I/II certification and Quebec 'Buy Local' procurement priority.
