Aircare International has launched an airborne medical system designed specifically for business aviation applications. The Aircare Emergency Diagnostic Platform (AEDP) supports flight crews and passengers by gathering and delivering high-fidelity patient diagnostic information via encrypted video through the company’s telemedicine app.
Using the supplied specially armored Android-based tablet, patients can communicate with Aircare’s board-certified emergency physicians on the ground in real time in cases of medical emergencies. Their medical data can be shared with the emergency physicians as well.
Several components that integrate with the AEDP are featured in the kit, including the MedWand multi-sensor diagnostic tool, an infrared thermometer, pulse oximeter, digital stethoscope, high-definition camera, digital blood pressure monitor, glucometer, and ECG leads.
“Our mission has always been to protect and support crews and passengers in the moments that matter most,” said Karl Kamps, v-p of operations for Aircare Emergency Telemedicine. “The AEDP is more than just hardware—it’s a direct line to expert care delivered through a service platform that’s been trusted by operators worldwide for decades.”
