ESA emergency telemedicine system soars to commercial success

The briefcase-sized Tempus IC telemedicine system puts non-medical cabin crew in contact with ground-based experts during in-flight medical emergencies.

Key information about the passenger’s health can be quickly transmitted via satellite to a dedicated response centre.

Watch the in-flight demo video on a BMI flight.

The same vital signs which are measured routinely in a hospital emergency room - including blood pressure and sugar levels, temperature and heart rate - are captured to a clinical level of quality.

At the same time, the crew can also talk with the medical specialists and send them still and moving pictures of the situation.
