Health alert via satellite
from ESApod, audio and video from space · host European Space Agency ESA
This project is co-funded by the European Space Agency as part of a programme dedicated to telemedicine. The aim is to test a satellite communication system, the only technology that would remain fully operational in the event of a natural disaster. The exercise demonstrates the efficiency of satellite telecommunications for intervention in the field while offering the possibility to inform the rest of the world about the evolution of the situation. This is a good example of what ESA wants to develop: a truly user-driven system enabling satellites to safely connect the health world.ESApod video programme
