04:00 hours, Transatlantic flight: one of your passengers complains of stomach pains and difficulty breathing - is this a false alarm or major medical incident?
As your crew will typically not be medical experts, differentiating the serious from the non-serious medical incident can be very difficult.
Have you done all you can to protect your passengers, crew and airline?
With Tempus you have that protection.
- Using your onboard telephones, Tempus allows a crewmember with no medical experience to collect and transmit a passenger's vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse and heart rhythms down to ground-based medical experts
- Every minute is critical during a medical incident. Tempus enables fast, aggressive treatment advice and support
Avoids Costly “False Alarm” Medical Diversions
- Equipping with Tempus will virtually eliminate unnecessary medical diversions and difficulties for all onboard, as the ground-based doctors will be able to make decisions based on hard medical facts
- Unnecessary costs that could be avoided would typically be about $65,000 for a long haul diversion and could easily be in excess of $1million on polar routes
Improves Customer Loyalty
- Passengers will not be unnecessarily delayed by false alarm medical incidents
- One bad experience onboard could result in significant negative publicity, as an onboard medical incident affects not only the passenger concerned, but everyone on the flight
- Equipping with Tempus clearly demonstrates that you have taken every step to protect all passengers, whatever their class of travel and encourages positive publicity amongst family and friends
Reduces Litigation Risk
- By providing all the added benefits of this proven technology, an airline can clearly demonstrate it has taken every step to ensure the medical safety of its passengers, therefore protecting it from medical litigation
Uses Your Existing Communications Links
- Tempus can support the simultaneous transmission of voice and medical data and is designed to use the existing communications links available off aircraft
for over 2 years and has been successfully deployed during numerous in-flight medical incidents. One of these involved a 50-year-old man on a bmi long haul
flight being correctly diagnosed and successfully treated for the early stages
of a heart attack.
Both the ground-based doctors and Tempus users have stated that it makes
a real difference to the handling of in-flight medical incidents. Tempus helps protect your passengers, your crew and your airline.
