Emergency and disaster medicine

Medical assistant takes instruction from remote doctor

Minitiarized sensors and diagnostics equipment with data transfer capabilities are some of the common devices required both for human spaceflight as well as for medical operations during terrestrial emergencies and disasters.

A list of recent and current projects supported by ESA is given below. Further detail on some of the project is provided where it appears with hyperlink (further descriptions will be provided in the near future).

SECOM - Satellite Enhanced Coverage of Mobimed
To enable remote monitoring, in an ambulance, of patient vital signs, assessment of diagnostic quality ECG's and any relevant patient history.
