Revolutionizing expedition medicine for safer adventures

At Furtenbach Adventures, we are redefining safety standards in high-altitude mountaineering with cutting-edge medical technology and unparalleled expertise. As the only expedition operator to provide live monitoring of vital signs on the mountain, we ensure your health is continuously safeguarded during your climb.

 

Live telemedicine for real-time health monitoring

Our expeditions leverage state-of-the-art telemedicine technology to track your vital parameters, including:

  • Oxygen saturation (SpO2)
  • Heart rate

These metrics are continuously monitored and evaluated by our dedicated expedition doctor in real-time, ensuring immediate responses to any health concerns. Live monitoring is available as an add-on upon request.

 

Advanced medical technology you can trust

Furtenbach Adventures integrates the latest innovations from critical care medicine to protect your health and maximize performance at extreme altitudes. Our medical protocols include:

  • Ultrasound diagnostics: On-site imaging for quick and accurate assessments.
  • Wearable technology: Continuous monitoring to ensure peak performance.
  • Enhanced oxygen systems: Delivering oxygen at a flow rate that maintains sea-level oxygen saturation, even at extreme altitudes.

Eliminating the risk of altitude-related illness

With our advanced medical strategies, the risk of developing high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is virtually eliminated. By maintaining oxygen saturation levels comparable to those at basecamp throughout your ascent, we safeguard your physical performance and overall safety.

 

Why our approach stands out

  • Exclusive telemedicine expertise: No other operator offers live health monitoring with real-time medical oversight.
  • State-of-the-art equipment: Leveraging technology from intensive care medicine for unparalleled safety.
  • Focus on your health and performance: Reduced risk of altitude sickness, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience.

A commitment to safer and smarter climbing

At Furtenbach Adventures, we believe that pushing boundaries should never come at the cost of safety. Our pioneering use of telemedicine and advanced medical techniques ensures that you can focus on achieving your goals with confidence.
