| Etihad puts health monitor system on board |
|
Etihad Airways is install new technology on long-haul aircraft which can monitor the condition of passengers who fall ill. The Tempus IC system, designed and manufactured by UK-based RDT, combines in-flight equipment to allow cabin crew to gather information about a passenger’s health, including blood pressure and electrocardiogram. It also allows the crew to take photo imagery. That information is then transmitted to a team of medical experts specialised in in-flight medical contingencies. On their advice the crew can then decide what to do next for the passenger and the flight. Captain Richard Hill, Etihad Airways’ chief operations officer, said: “The Tempus IC system will ensure that when medical emergencies do occur they are evaluated quickly. “This helps ensure that the passenger can receive the appropriate treatment when the aircraft lands.”
