In the world of emergency medical services (EMS), accurate patient care is paramount. Recognizing a gap in the ability to provide precise medication dosing due to the lack of patient weight information in ambulances, Hinckley Medical, founded by Tristen Hazlett and his partners, Colton Hazlett and Michael Elsbernd, has introduced a groundbreaking solution: OneWeight.
The inspiration struck Hazlett during a conversation with his brother, a paramedic troubled by the need to estimate patients’ weights. This led to the development of the Patient Weighing System (PWS), evolving through years of dedication into what is now known as OneWeight, a scale assembled in Minnesota and used by EMS providers across six states.
OneWeight, part of Minnesota’s vibrant Medical Alley community, is just the beginning. Hinckley Medical’s mission to offload cognitive tasks from emergency responders continues with the launch of OneDose, an app that, in tandem with OneWeight, calculates dosages and provides essential tools and checklists based on accurate patient weight.
The journey of Hinckley Medical from an idea to a vital EMS tool has been supported by a collaboration with U.S. Bank. This exemplifies a successful partnership, blending innovative healthcare solutions with solid banking support to enhance emergency medical care.
