Can emergency heart data travel safely through the air?
NCT ID NCT05587764
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the Tempus Pro, a portable vital signs monitor used in ambulances, sends accurate ECG (heart) recordings and other vital sign data to doctors via telemedicine. Researchers will compare the transmitted data with the original readings from the device to see if they match. The study involves about 100 patients who were monitored with the device during pre-hospital emergency care. The goal is to confirm the device works reliably for remote monitoring in emergency situations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tempus Pro multi-parameter vital signs monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If the transmitted data matches the original, it could support wider use of telemedicine for remote monitoring in emergencies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can't prove the device improves outcomes. Transmission or data quality issues could still occur in real-world settings.
