In 2019, Dr. Grant Lipman received a call from a distressed hiker who had been bitten by a large rattlesnake.
The hiker had received anti-venom at a local hospital, but his symptoms had worsened. While searching for answers on the internet, he found Dr. Lipman, a professor at Stanford Emergency Medicine and director of its wilderness medicine fellowship. Dr. Lipman is one of the foremost leaders in wilderness medicine and has published numerous scientific research articles with extensive expedition medicine experience, and has been teaching wilderness medicine for 20 years.
He discovered that the rare severe delayed envenomation was destroying the hiker’s healthy tissue and blood cells and was able to direct care and save the hiker’s leg. This experience, along with decades of requests for wilderness medical help from all over the world, prompted Dr. Lipman to ask: “How can we make wilderness medicine more accessible?”
The call to action brought together a team of wilderness medicine doctors, engineers, designers, and healthcare technologists to revolutionize outdoor health.
