TORONTO, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE: SNA) (CSE:SNA.CN) (OTCQB:
SNAVF) ("Star” or the “Company”) announces that it has concluded a series of presentations of its In-Flight System Aided Medical
Monitoring System (“STAR-ISAMM™”) (see Press Release October 10, 2018). The presentations were held in the Montreal area and were
attended by representatives from the Canadian and US aerospace industries, Emergency Medical Service operators and the National
Research Council of Canada.
The STAR-ISAMM™ System, based on Star’s patented STAR-A.D.S. ® System technology, is specifically designed to address the need
for more efficient and timely delivery of a patient’s bio-medical information during emergency medical evacuation and transport.
The presentations demonstrated a STAR-ISAMM™ System, connected to several bio-monitors of the types used in EMS vehicles,
transmitting in real time through satellite and GSM. The exact information generated by the bio-monitors was received at
several work stations on the ground simulating the medical environment. The ground segment used the current STAR visualization
tools (Graphical User Interface, or “GUI”) showing specific medical information menus. In addition to the bio-data, this enrichment
will assist the medical team in their decision making process. For instance, the STAR-ISAMM™ system will show the exact location of
the EMS vehicle, its status and its estimated time of arrival.
The presentations were hosted and supported at the Ste. Justine Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (“CHU”) in Montreal, which is
cooperating in this project. The attendees were able to see the STAR-ISAMM™ operating in its pre-production format. The
completion of Health Canada and U.S. FDA medical certification is currently underway.
This successful event demonstrated that STAR-ISAMM™ System, both in concept and reality, offers an exciting solution for EMS
applications.
Last week, STAR attended the Air Medical Transport Conference (“AMTC”) in Phoenix, Arizona with some of the attendees to its
Montreal presentation. The AMTC was an opportunity for the industry to be briefed on the latest techniques and innovative
approaches to emergency medical transport practice. Star is now finalizing discussions with key Helicopter EMS operators and
suppliers in Canada and in the U.S. to bring the STAR-ISAMM™ System to the market for early 2019.
