We recently launched the HealthView III and are excited to showcase its installation in our RV-10. The HealthView III works with the Air Avionics ATD-57, 80, and 11 hardware displays to serve as a bioavionics system for both health monitoring and oxygen system control.
Notable improvements over prior HealthView II include: industry standard DSUB connectors, integrated Shield carbon monoxide detector, hardwired Illyrian oximeter data, Metis OAT and dewpoint sensor compatibility, analog voltage outputs for GEA-24 and SV-EMS, and RS-232 outputs for Advanced Avionics.
In our RV-10 installation, we mounted the ATD-57 in a custom center console that included the pilot and passenger Illyrian micro USB connectors for hardwired oximeter health data. The eDOT carbon monoxide detector indicator light was positioned directly above the ATD-57. The actual HealthView III data bridge was located behind this center console and is not directly visible, but serves as the data communication link between the ATD-57 and the Aithre Turbo 4-place oxygen concentrator system in the aircraft.
Interestingly, we split the RS-232 feed from the HealthView III to two different ATD-57 and it worked brilliantly. The one ATD-57 in the center console can be seen, and then there is another ATD-57 above and in the avionics panel. Because each ATD has a completely customizable interface using any of the 80 plus fields available, we made the center console ATD-57 dedicated to pulse ox, heart rate, heart rate variability for both the pilot and passenger, and environmental parameters of carbon monoxide, cabin temperature, OAT, and dewpoint. The other ATD-57 is being used for monitoring and control of the 4-place Turbo O2i oxygen maker system.
There doesn't seem to be a limit on the number of ATD that can be fed the data from the HealthView III, but only one should be dedicated as a controller to the Turbo oxygen maker system or Avi on-demand system.
While we have already flown multiple interstate cross-country trips with the Healthview III, we are looking forward to the annual Washington the Florida Sun N' Fun trip of 3000 miles to put the new Healthview III to use at altitude.
