The patient did not have a history of heart problems, which would lead usto treat him on a conservative basis. However, with the EKG confirming his condition...we were able to treat
much more aggressively

Virgin Atlantic has been committed to implementing telemedicine onboard for
many years now and the Tempus 2000 is a major breakthrough in this area.
All airlines have a duty to their passengers on long haul flights to provide comprehensive medical back up and I challenge other airlines to follow our lead! This new technology
will have many life saving applications.
Virgin Atlantic to Launch Pioneering Life Saving Technology On Board
We are active supporters of the Tempus 2000 and all of our MedLink team have been trained in the use of the system.
Telemedine - how practical is it for the shipping industry?
The Tempus 2000 system can be a significant tool for our MedLink physicians in working
with our maritime clients...Tempus 2000 takes a lot of variables out of the equation,
allowing the physician to come back with more definitive assessments relative to a patient's situation. Also the video images can be very helpful to our doctors as it allows them to see exactly what they are dealing with. As a result, in certain cases, this more definitive information can mean the difference between recommending the patient be evacuated
or the ship diverted, or not needing to do anything
Telemedine - how practical is it for the shipping industry?

If a yacht is out to sea when a medical emergency occurs - so far away that air evacuation
isn't possible - you can still rest easy. Tempus 2000 allows any one of our 13 physicians
trained in remote diagnosis to receive blood pressure readings, electrocardiogram readings
and still video of the ill passenger. This technology, along with the appropriate onboard
maritime medical kits and training can be a lifesaver
Tempus 2000 and MedLink Telemedicine: A Perfect Fit For The Yacht Market
We were all very impressed. The doctors in Phoenix had a good quality ECG that allowed them to act confidently and decisively and they got the cabin crew to do all right things.
This seems to me a very significant advance. It should be much more widely available
This trial was an important step in British Airways' evaluation of this technology.
I was particularly impressed with the completeness of medical parameters measured
and how simple and practical Tempus 2000 was to use in the confined space available
in an aircraft cabin. The clarity and quality of voice communication and the robustness
of the data transmission was very impressive.

We felt that adding the advanced Tempus 2000 service on board the fleet enables Royal Jet to maintain its commitment towards VIPs such as royalty, ministers, celebrities, senior executives and individuals requiring absolute discretion in their travels. We are the first company in the Gulf region to install Tempus 2000 and be able to offer this to our discerning customers

I could have died. The treatment reduced the damage to my heart and means I have
a good long-term prognosis. I probably got better medical attention than if I'd had a
heart attack at home.
I consider Tempus 2000 essential following a situation in which, while flying my principal to critical international negotiations, an accompanying journalist became ill. Political expediency meant we had to divert the aircraft. On landing, it turned out that the journalist was ill because he had drunk too heavily the previous evening. Had we known this, we would NOT have diverted the aircraft. Tempus 2000 would have avoided this situation
The safety and welfare of our passengers is our top priority. We are therefore delighted to be installing this pioneering system onboard all our BBJ aircraft to enable us to guarantee our customers that the best possible medical care will be available at all times. We also fly our customers to remote safari locations, where having this system could prove invaluable in providing additional medical support
PrivateAir launches pioneering Medical Technology
We can now offer this medical device together with trained crews to owners and
operators of aircraft. This way our customers can be provided with the best possible medical care at all times

Tempus is already helping save lives and is being used on commercial
aircraft, by numerous Fortune 500 companies, Head of State and military
organisations as well as universities and private companies.
Both doctors and Tempus users have stated that it makes a real difference in the
handling of any medical incident.
Well it was terrifying at the time, but the flight crew were so fantastic and so obviously
had the whole thing under control you know, I was very reassured, and when I realised
how brilliant the equipment was and that everything was under control, it was a great
relief I can assure you
Tempus 2000 is a very important addition to our medical facilities onboard as it enables us to send hard medical data to land-based medical experts. The completeness of medical parameters, ease of use and multiple connectivity facilities of the Tempus were critical in my purchase decision. The clarity and quality of the voice communication and robustness of the data transmission over one line off my boat and over the integrated GSM are particularly impressive. The after sales service provided by RDT has also impressed me. I have no doubt this adds real value for my owner and all onboard.
The thing that's come in to my mind is that actually I was in the best place. Had I been at home I think it would have taken longer to get medical assistance than it did on the flight, so no I have no fear of flying again

“Corporate aviation depends on being able to anticipate and then meet the needs of our passengers, and Tempus is an integral link in our ability to meet those needs and prepare for the unexpected.”
