For medical emergencies in which only the help of a doctor will do, RDT (Booth No. 325) has introduced the Tempus IC (integrated communications) version of its in-flight response system. The new model is significantly lighter and more compact than the original Tempus 2000 system, and offers communications tools that allow additional functions such as streaming live video of patients to doctors on the ground.

Tempus IC never needs to be recalibrated, unlike the Tempus 2000 product, which had to go back to the manufacturer every 15 to 18 months. The new unit weighs about five pounds, which is approximately a quarter of the weight of the original system. RDT intends to add the capability for the Tempus IC to connect to the Internet via wireless hotspots on the ground.
