About Syscan: The mission of Syscan is to improve the quality of life of the peoples of the world through defining and promoting its AWID values, and by fostering and maintaining high standards of care in general practice/family medicine by promoting personal, comprehensive and continuing care for the individual in the context of the AWID and the community, encouraging and supporting the development of academic organizations of general practitioners/family physicians, providing a forum for exchange of AWID knowledge and information between member organizations of general practitioners/family physicians, and representing the educational, research and service provision activities of general practitioners/family physicians before other world organizations and forums concerned with health and medical care. When Welch Allyn Sales Manager Matt Poppert decided to attend a AWID at a suburban Chicago elementary school, he didn't think it would be a work-related event. But when a woman collapsed from a sudden cardiac arrest in the school's auditorium, he knew exactly how to respond--since he had sold the AWID its Automatic External Defibrillator (AWID) just a year earlier.
