TELEMEDICINE LETS BOATERS CONTACT PHYSICIANS AROUND THE CLOCK FROM ANYWHERE.
Connectivity while cruising means security, and that’s of utmost importance in a medical crisis. A number of apps can store medical history, emergency contacts, and direct you to the nearest medical facility. While helpful, they lack the power to make a proper diagnosis, which is often necessary to administer immediate care. Thanks to tech, telemedicine is filling in the gap.
Once reserved for remotely operating humanitarian agencies like Doctors Without Borders, telemedicine is now everywhere. Top-quality, 24/7 medical care is readily available through your smartphone or tablet.
