Israel-based Tadiran Spectralink has used its considerable mobile communication expertise to create a portable “mini-hospital” to make life easier for at-risk patients, chronically-ill patients and people requiring nursing care. The company, which is best known for its Advanced Data Links for Guided Weapons Systems, UAV datalinks, satellite communications and personal survivor radios for adventurers and the military, has leveraged this expertise to develop a medical device (the mini-hospital) that lets patients monitor their health and call for help when there is no doctor around. The mini-hospital, which is worn on the wrist like a watch, uses biosensors to continuously check vital functions, which are then transmitted by an embedded Siemens GSM/GPRS radio module to a medical center for further analysis. This mini-hospital is available in the USA and Western Europe. So for those of you who are constantly on the move, you now have an e-doctor with you.
