A doctor in the cabin, without leaving the ground.

At 38,000 feet, cabin crew are the first responders. Parsys gives them a station to examine the passenger and a live link to a ground-based doctor over the aircraft's connectivity.

Case study · Emirates

Saving lives in the skies, with Emirates.

Emirates and Parsys spent a year co-designing a telemedicine station. It now flies on more than 300 Emirates aircraft, and all of the airline's almost 25,000 cabin crew are trained on it.

  1. Telecardia® 12-lead ECG, pulse oximeter, thermometer, blood pressure monitor and glucometer send readings by Bluetooth: no notes to take.
  2. MedCapture®, configured to Emirates' medical procedures, guides the crew step by step.
  3. Parsys Cloud sends the case to Ground Medical Support, with live video when a doctor needs to see the passenger.
Already in action

On a flight to Lyon, an elderly passenger's oxygen level dropped sharply. The crew gave oxygen and shared her vital signs through MedCapture; the ground team, via Parsys Cloud, guided them until the situation was under control.

Station S1

On board, ready for the next emergency.

Station S1 holds everything the crew needs to examine a passenger with a doctor on the line. It complies with RTCA DO-160 for airborne equipment.

  • Open, follow, send: MedCapture guides the crew step by step, in their language, and sends results to the ground physician.
  • Diagnostic data: 12-lead Telecardia ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and temperature; stethoscope, otoscope, glucometer or ultrasound optional.
  • Every item in its place: a fitted foam insert shows missing equipment at the pre-flight check.
  • Battery powered: the tablet and each device run on their own batteries, so the exam needs no aircraft power.
  • Built for satellite: works on low, variable in-flight bandwidth and keeps data if the link drops.
  • Better decisions: the ground physician has objective data when a diversion is on the table.
