With some digital aid, doctors can stay abreast of a patient’s incoming transplants.

In more concrete terms, when people are waiting for a medical transplant to arrive, everything needs to go right while up in the air. Since time is usually of the essence, communication with doctors on the ground needs to be exact and on point.

Technology today is helping to accomplish these goals while organs are being transported up in the airways. Doctors on the ground need to know exactly where the organ is at all times in case something goes wrong and the plane cannot arrive in time. Airspace is currently using geofencing technology, which sends updates out via push notifications when the organ is passing through custom electronic boundaries.

This tech allows for transparency between the ground and air like never before. By connecting electronically, when an order is given, it automatically populates in the system and data is shared fluently between both parties. This cuts down the need for constant phone calls to get status updates.

Airspace’s tech helps to connect airlines with people on the ground. The ability for doctors and surgeons to know exactly where the organ is and if there were any complications along the way can help to save someone’s life on the ground. If they see something is wrong, they can immediately move on to plan B to take care of the patient. This also helps in the prepping process because doctors will know the exact time that the organ is going to arrive, so they can plan out their schedule.

The optimized network that is being built is going to help take communication to brand new levels.
