Improving military medicine
The ISTC Medical Symposium brings together leading experts from the NATO SOF medical community to discuss the latest developments in military medicine. The program covers topics such as lessons learned from current conflicts, advances in medical technology, tactical medicine, and innovative training approaches. The event fosters collaboration between medical professionals, researchers, industry partners, and military practitioners to improve operational medical capabilities. By bringing together Medical Advisors, Medics and Subject Matter Experts ISTC leads the way to improve battlefield survivability, identifies needs and adapts guidelines within the community.
Ultralight and mobile patient monitoring for challenging environments
During the event we will present our improved mobile patient monitoring system to the participants which now additionally features an alarm system. The solution combines the 8.6 g lightweight corpuls auryx in-ear sensor with the corresponding mobile application – ideal for demanding environments.
The monitoring technology is already successfully used in mountain, air, and offshore rescue operations, Prolonged Field Care, as well as special operations. We look forward to discussing the latest developments with participants, sharing the experiences of users with our technology to date, presenting the wide range of possible applications, and exploring the potential and operational capabilities in tactical medicine.
