Aeromedical services provider MD Onboard is highlighting its new real-time, two-way video telehealth capabilities this week at EBACE 2025. “At the core of our DNA is health and technology,” said company CEO Grant Jeffery, who formerly served in the same role for more than a decade with Medaire. “Our objective was to look at best practice in healthcare and bring that into aviation.”

MD Onboard’s video solution allows the medical team on the ground to view the condition of patients and consult with them in flight, improving the speed and accuracy of diagnosis. “In addition to that, it improves the situational assessments, which means are the crew calm, is the situation risky?” said Jeffery.
