Tele911 is a telemedicine company that diverts low-acuity 911 calls away from crowded emergency rooms by connecting patients on scene with board-certified emergency physicians over video, on average within about 40 seconds. Founded by physician-entrepreneur Dr. Ramon Lizardo, the company equips paramedics and medics as the doctor's hands, eyes, and ears so patients can be treated in place instead of being transported to a hospital - reducing unnecessary ambulance trips, ED visits, and cost. The model has reached millions of lives across multiple states and positions itself as the nation's leading ER-diversion and virtual emergency department solution.
