Tempus Pro: A portable telemedicine device

A robust portable device for monitoring vital signs and providing communications for medics, developed with the support of ESA, offers a lifeline even in the remotest areas on Earth via satcoms.

The Tempus Pro 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.

The unit has been developed by Remote Diagnostic Technologies (RDT) in the UK, with funding from ESA’s Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems programme.
