SKYTRAC and corpuls announce successful testing of real-time medical data transfer

SKYTRAC, a global satcom and intelligent connectivity solutions company, has successfully tested real-time medical data transfer through satellite communications and cellular connectivity with corpuls, a manufacturer of robust, sophisticated, preclinical patient monitoring systems, defibrillators, chest compression devices and software products.

The latest innovation from corpuls, the MIL-STD-810G and DO-160G certified corpuls3 Touch, is a three-on-one medical device incorporating a monitor unit, patient box and defibrillator/pacemaker. It allows for the continuous monitoring of critical patients from the incident site to the hospital and is leveraged by air medical operators globally.

“We are proud to partner with SKYTRAC to offer real-time medical data transfer to air medical operators leveraging corpuls3 devices in the cabin,” said Robert Gerlach, Product Manager, corpuls. “This capability is essential in today’s connected world, and it is our hope that this connectivity can impact patient outcomes in a positive way.”

The corpuls3 device can stream real-time patient data, with SKYTRAC’s intelligent connectivity capability, with 99.9 per cent uptime reliability. There is resilient satcom in remote locations where cellular connectivity is unable, as it can dynamically switch to cellular networks when 4G or LTE is in range.

Luke Billington, Regional Business Manager, SKYTRAC, said: “Iridium Certus midband and 4G/LTE cellular connectivity are providing significant improvements to air medical operations. We are finding unique and novel ways to provide operators with value and are excited to receive positive outcomes of our integration testing with corpuls.”

SKYTRAC recently selected Arrow Aviation as its service center.
