Operational Medicine | GlobalMed
Authorized and Proven Operational Medicine
GlobalMed holds the U.S. Defense Health Agency's Authority to Operate on DoD networks, making it the only digital health platform cleared for those networks. Its federal deployments include:
- VA partner since 2009, with nearly 2,500 endpoint virtual health stations installed from the Indo-Pacific to the Western Hemisphere
- Department of Defense since 2015
- Defense Health Agency since 2020
- White House Medical Unit
Founded in 2002 by a Marine Corps Reserve Veteran, GlobalMed is a Veteran-owned small business with more than two decades of enterprise-scale federal deployments behind it. Across that time, it has enabled over 100 million consultations in 60+ countries, many of them in conditions where reliable infrastructure was not guaranteed.
Choosing a platform that has already cleared DHA networks, operated continuously on DoD installations, and sustained performance across decades of high-stakes deployments removes a significant layer of evaluation risk for program managers and contracting officers working through long approval chains.
Deployable Equipment Built for the Field
GlobalMed's hardware line was designed around the reality that care often needs to happen well outside any fixed facility.
Transportable Exam Backpack
The Transportable Exam Backpack (TEB) puts a complete virtual examination kit in a single lightweight pack. Equipped with a laptop and integrated diagnostic tools, it deploys hands-free, requires no specialized setup, and connects via universal USB. A medic carrying a TEB can conduct a clinical-quality remote examination from any location with connectivity.
Transportable Exam Station
For team-level deployments, the Transportable Exam Station (TES) scales that capability into a ruggedized, pressurized case built for austere environments. Wi-Fi, cellular, and SATCOM connectivity keep it operational when other communications infrastructure is unavailable or degraded.
Mobile Medical Unit
The Mobile Medical Unit extends coverage to full-team operations on a reinforced vehicle platform with Starlink-compatible satellite communications. Key specs:
- 6-person capacity, deployable in under 15 minutes with a two-person crew
- Transportable by flatbed or helicopter lift
- HEPA air filtration and negative air pressure capability for infectious disease scenarios
- Pathogen-resistant interior surfaces
- Optional software configurations for command and control: live video feeds, drone integration, and AI-based threat detection
55+ Modalities of Virtual Medicine on One Platform
Once the hardware is in place, the eNcounter® software platform delivers the clinical depth that separates virtual health for military operations from a standard video call. Integrated medical devices connect directly to the platform for real-time data capture:
| Device | Capability |
| TotalECG® | Wireless 12-lead ECG, no cables or outlet required |
| Riester Digital Stethoscope + ClearSteth® Software | Tele-auscultation with full frequency control and zero video compression |
| ClearProbe® | Point-of-care ultrasound across multiple clinical applications |
| TotalVitals® | Blood pressure, pulse oximetry, heart rate, and temperature in a single handheld device |
| TotalExam® 3.2 | Lightweight and affordable HD telemedicine exam camera and otoscope system with attachments |
Spanning more than 55 modalities of virtual medicine, the platform connects field providers to remote specialists who are working from the same data in real time.
AI-powered virtual triage routes patients to the appropriate provider, service line, or care pathway from first contact, reducing the administrative load on field medics and improving throughput during high-volume or surge operations. All clinical data flows directly into the EHR, creating a continuous, documented patient record that travels with the patient across every echelon of care.
Ready When the Mission Is
Ready When the Mission Is
For commands managing care across dispersed, resource-constrained, or non-permissive environments, operational medicine requires technology that is authorized, proven, and built to go where the mission goes. From a medic's backpack to a helicopter-deployable clinic to an enterprise platform cleared on DoD networks, GlobalMed has been supplying that capability for more than 20 years. The Defense Health Agency renewed that Authority to Operate in December 2025, confirming GlobalMed's platform continues to meet the security and operational standards DoD networks demand.
