MD ONBOARD Taking Pulse of Inflight Telemedicine

Aviation medical solutions provider MD ONBOARD has entered a partnership with Laerdal to enhance its medical training for the aviation industry.

Together, they will integrate advanced simulation technology into training programmes designed to enable cabin crew and aviation professionals to manage inflight medical incidents with greater confidence, leveraging immersive, realistic training experiences that replicate inflight medical incident scenarios.

“We’re dedicated to pushing the boundaries of inflight medical care and training. Our partnership with Laerdal combines our real-world aviation expertise with their groundbreaking simulation technology, elevating our training to a new level,” said Wehda El Aridi, Chief Growth Officer of MD Onboard.

“Together, we’re setting a new benchmark for aviation health and safety, delivering innovative, technology-driven solutions that will empower crew members to handle critical medical situations with confidence.”

The company has also chosen MEBAA to announce its advances in telemedicine technology.

“We empower flight crews with real-time medical advisory services,” explained El Aridi. “These advanced solutions provide immediate access to expert medical guidance, ensuring safety and peace of mind for passengers and crew.”

“From seamless integration with aviation systems to a user-friendly interface for medical decision-making, we are disrupting traditional inflight healthcare norms. By reducing unnecessary diversions and improving resource efficiency, these innovations set a new benchmark for operational excellence and cost-saving.”

The company’s CEO, Grant Jeffery, was recently appointed to the board of directors of the Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA).

Jeffery said: “This role provides an opportunity to work closely with industry leaders to drive meaningful advances in aviation health and safety.”
