London, UK - 9 October 2023 - MedAire has today announced the launch of its brand-new medical monitoring solution, the Digital Assessment Kit (DAK).
Already used by many of MedAire’s private jet clients (BGA), the DAK contains important medical-grade tools for obtaining vital signs readings and easily transmitting them to MedAire. It includes: a 12-lead ECG, a pulse oximeter, a blood pressure monitor, a digital glucometer, and a contactless thermometer.
The DAK is accompanied by MedAire’s new MediConnect App, designed for the specific needs of maritime clients based on learnings from hundreds of thousands of MedAire cases over its 35-year history.
When a medical situation arises, the MediConnect App guides the responder through scenarios ranging from drowning to chest pain. It helps provide immediate care, gathers vital signs data and patient information and transmits it to MedAire for medical recommendations and/or diagnosis.
The App is powered by algorithms that ensure only the most necessary patient information is collected for the injury or illness, creating time efficiencies for the responder and avoiding miscommunications that can arise when providing information over the phone. The App can also be used offline, to provide immediate care even when the Internet is not available.
Steven Bates, General Manager at MedAire, says that “We are incredibly excited to launch the DAK to our superyacht clients, and we are confident that captains and crew will quickly see the necessity for such equipment. The solution itself is intuitive, easy-to-use and fills a niche within the medical monitoring solution space.”
The DAK is designed for use by non-medical professionals and requires minimal training for crew members onboard. It provides a unique alternative to market options, offering a cost-effective solution that makes medical monitoring accessible to more vessels.
