Binghamton University students turn EMT frustration into a new company
EMS personnel across the country may soon have significantly more time to respond to critical emergencies thanks to new technology pioneered by two Binghamton University students. While the COVID-19 pandemic was spent sheltering indoors away from others, it helped spur a passion in emergency services for Binghamton University seniors Joshua Ackerman and Yoav Reshef. Now years removed from the high school days that marked the start of their foray into becoming EMTs, the two are working to make life easier for emergency service workers. Thanks to technology developed by the students’ company, Lucent EMS Solutions, EMTs could save precious time formerly spent filing paperwork, allowing for more efficient processes and ultimately, more time helping those in need.
