The Tempus Pro has been developed by Remote Diagnostic Technology (RDT) in the UK, with funding from ESA’s Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems programme.
The unit combines the diagnostic facilities found in standard hospital vital signs monitors with extensive two-way communications, packaged in a compact, robust, highly portable unit that can be tailored to user needs with the use of external devices.
It has GSM (3G), GPS, wi-fi, bluetooth and ethernet connectivity, and can use available VSAT facilities to exchange voice, video, medical data and GPS positioning.
