What is it?
BLIS (Blood / Biologics Logistics, Integrity & Security) is designed to create and maintain a US Prehospital Blood Supply to support EMS/First Responder steady state requirements and quickly scale for disasters and other public health emergencies in civilian and military scenarios.
BLIS is a comprehensive prehospital blood logistics program for point-of-injury care enhancement to expand access to life-saving blood products and expedite transport to EMS/First Responders for prehospital transfusion. While Whole Blood or Low Titer O+ Whole Blood (LTO+WB) are the preferred blood products, BLIS is a cold chain solution for any blood or biologic product including tissues, organs, vaccines, and other temperature sensitive medicines.
-
BLIS collects its own Prehospital Blood Supply, independent of traditional civilian and military collection organizations, with an app-based rewards program targeting a young adult demographic.
-
Collected blood is distributed primarily to the Armed Services Blood Program and Civilian EMS/First Responders and also underserved organizations (e.g. hospitals, research facilities).
-
BLIS Label and BLIS Blood Bag begin the cold chain of custody, recording temperature, geolocation, and other relevant data at desired time intervals.
-
BLIS Containers preserve blood integrity & viability by keeping blood intact and at proper verifiable storage temperatures during storage and transport. Durable and reusable in austere conditions.
-
BLIS Data & Inventory Management System optimizes blood and biologic deployment to EMS / First Responders and is compatible with existing civilian & military communication systems.
-
BLIS integrates with existing ground/air vehicle and future drone delivery with a multi-modal hub & spoke network approach.
-
BLIS increases EMS/military medical team safety by using drone delivery to minimize human risk in delivering prehospital blood to point-of-injury, especially in rugged, compromised, or contaminated terrain.
