RDT, the Hampshire, UK-based remote medical monitoring specialist, is returning to EBACE 2010 after a strong 18 months of sales of their pioneering device, Tempus IC™.  

Tempus IC is a comprehensive telemedicine device designed for use by non medical personnel, typically in locations where access to healthcare of an international standard is otherwise not available, and functions even in flight.  The simple and easy to use system provides appropriate medical advice to non-medical first responders in both across the range of medical emergencies. The device transmits a combination of clinical vital signs data, voice and video information, to support medical analysis at MedAire’s call center. The expert advice is received in real time where care is being delivered, so helping to expedite required actions in case of a real emergency, as well as providing reassurance and minimizing stress.

1. With over 600 units now in the market, over one third of which are on business jets, RDT will be demonstrating the Tempus IC on stand 1567; Tempus IC will also be demonstrated on RDT’s medical response centre partner MedAire’s stand 1425, so doubling the impact. “MedAire offers the 24/7 clinical support service that the majority of Tempus customers use. There is a high degree of synergy between our product and MedAire's services which are, we believe, the best in class, so it makes sense to increase the interaction between both companies at EBACE 2010,” says RDT’s Roz Thomas, Head of Sales and Marketing.

The majority of recent sales have come from Europe and the Middle East. Relationships with, for example, Dassault and Lufthansa Technik, whose strategy of offering high quality, high technology innovation to their airline, VIP and business jet customers, have helped to raise the technology’s profile.  “Clients are driven to purchase because of the extra level of medical security the product offers,” says Thomas.

“Clients in the business aviation industry are highly sophisticated, and with private jets flying further, for longer and to increasingly remote places, the benefits of Tempus IC in delivering the highest quality of medical care are now stronger than ever. Our business aviation market continues to grow and is a very important part of RDT’s customer base. We have also seen expansion in the complementary luxury yachting sector, where clients value the benefits of medical security when out at sea,” confirms Thomas.

Demonstrating their commitment to the business aviation sector RDT will be offering EBACE 2010 clients a special price for any purchases generated as a result of the conference, available to customers who confirm an order by 21st May, 2010.
