Breast screening unit with satcoms

RedFoot Technologies (GB), supported by ESA’s Integrated Applications Promotion programme, have developed Mercury as a simple one-touch service installed on breast screening vans used in cancer prevention and detection.

The service packages and transmits clinical data direct to hospital databases via satellite so radiologists can start their diagnoses earlier.

Satcoms saves time, costs, reduces data losses, increases security and enables 10–20% more women to be screened per day.
