Don Glidewell Secures Third Patent for BOOMBOX Emergency Tech
Don Glidewell, founder of the Tampa-based firm Blue Purpose, has secured his third U.S. patent for BOOMBOX, a specialized emergency communications system. The technology, which draws on two decades of his experience in emergency preparedness and healthcare, aims to maintain critical connectivity during operational crises.

This same focus on decision-making efficiency underpins his work at Blue Purpose, where he is currently scaling the VIBE platform. Designed for long-term care organizations, VIBE integrates artificial intelligence and automated data warehousing to streamline administrative workflows. By automating routine compliance and operational tasks, the system intends to shift the focus of frontline caregivers back to resident care. Glidewell, a former Mississippi Healthcare Hero and current board member of the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council, continues to prioritize technology that translates complex data into actionable insights for healthcare leadership.
