Scottish MedTech spin-out targets global aviation sector and future fundraising

MIME Technologies, a University of Aberdeen medical technology spin-out developing software to monitor the vital signs of patients when emergency care situations arise in remote locations, is targeting the short-haul aviation sector with its first product.
