1. A method for preserving the quality of a transplantable human organ in transit, the method comprising the steps of:
packaging the organ in a container, wherein the contents of the container consist of a medium for preserving the organ, a tracker for tracking the location of the organ, and a fully integrated system compartment comprising a telemetric monitor for monitoring the local environment of the organ, and a walled organ compartment, wherein the organ is suspended entirely within the medium;
transmitting data inputs selected from the group consisting of identifiers of the organ, identifiers of the tracker, identifiers of the telemetric monitor and combinations thereof to a central software application tangibly stored on a nontransitory computer readable medium in network communication with a central processing unit (CPU), the central software application comprising instructions which when executed by the CPU cause the CPU to:
store the data inputs in an application database;
establish network communications between the central software application and a group of software applications consisting of a first web service application configured to receive short message service (SMS) text and email notifications from the CPU and transmit said notifications to authenticated end users, a second web service application configured to permit the authenticated end users to receive said notifications through the first web service, a geolocation application, a predictive ground traffic application, a flight tracking application, and a weather map application, wherein the central software application communicates with each of the geolocation, predictive ground traffic and flight tracking applications over an application programming interface (API);
update the application database with real-time information transmitted from each of the group of software applications, wherein the real-time information is stored in relation to the data inputs; and
transmit the real-time information to one or more authenticated users over the first web service, wherein the real-time information transmitted enables at least one authenticated user to know the location of and environmental conditions surrounding the organ and reallocate the organ from a first transportation asset to a second transportation asset;
wherein the real-time information is selected from the group consisting of geolocation, aerospace location, local weather, barometric pressure, organ position, vibrational force, temperature, impact, light intensity, acceleration, organ orientation or combinations thereof.
