Weeks before the Hamas massacre on Oct. 7,  2023,  a quiet revolution took place in the Medical Corps of the Israel Defense Forces. A new system, known as CPR GO, entered operational use to address a critical issue facing military doctors and medics in the field: a lack of information or the ability to document new patient information digitally.

For decades, a battalion doctor treating a wounded soldier deep in enemy territory operated in a certain fog, lacking access to the soldier’s medical history, allergies, or sensitivities. Furthermore, the treatment given in the field, sometimes under fire, was documented on scraps of paper that could easily be lost in the chaos of evacuation, leaving the next line of caregivers at the hospital blind to what treatments had already been administered.

The deployment of CPR (Computerized Patient Record) GO changed this reality just in time for one of the most intensive ground operations in IDF history.
