How to enhance medical capabilities onboard your yacht

Advancements in technology and increasing owner requirements have lead to more sophisticated and reliable systems that can address a wider range of health needs.

Knowing the use and limitations for these types of devices is crucial for ensuring that they are employed effectively and safely, allowing you to maximise their potential benefits. We have supported clients implement a variety of advanced medical setups.

How does better medical assessment lead to improved assistance?

In a medical situation, the quality of advice given is only as good as the information provided. Advanced medical monitoring tools like corpuls3st, Tempus Pro and MedAire’s DAK, are highly valuable for superyachts.

They allow you to send live, accurate vital signs readings directly to MedAire for diagnosis and assistance. This is of course invaluable when medical support is not immediately available.

The ability to send patient readings to MedAire from these devices is included within the MedAire membership.

What vital signs readings are commonly taken?

Temperature
Blood pressure
Blood Oxygen levels
Heart's rhythm and electrical activity (ECG)

How can point of care testing rule out illness and infection for yachts?

In the superyacht environment, where access to traditional laboratory facilities is limited, point of care testing can provide an invaluable tool for both diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of conditions.

Often they can confirm or remove the necessity for further follow-up.

The key categories of these types of tests are:

Blood chemistry tests which measure various chemicals and electrolytes in the blood, detecting:

Diabetes (indicated by high blood sugar)
Kidney Diseases (indicated by high levels of creatinine)
Liver disease (indicated by high levels of liver enzymes)

Blood component tests on the other hand, focus on specific components of the blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, detecting:

Anaemia (indicated by low levels of hemoglobin)
Various infections (indicated by low levels of white blood cells)
Bleeding disorders (indicated by low levels of platelets)

PCR & Antigen testing can be used to detect the presence of a wide-range of specific illnesses such as:
- Tropical illnesses
- Respiratory infections
- Sexually transmitted infections
- Gastrointestinal infections
