Splash247: Germany puts maritime medical handbook into crews’ pockets

Published by Splash247

Seafarers aboard German-flagged ships can now access emergency medical guidance directly from their phones through a new offline-capable tool designed for situations where no doctor is onboard.

MediSea converts Germany’s Maritime Medical Handbook into step-by-step digital guidance that crews can use on deck, in engine rooms or elsewhere onboard without an internet connection.

Available free in German and English, MediSea combines search functionality with visual, audio and video guidance to help medically trained seafarers respond under pressure. It helps crew identify the appropriate immediate response before accessing telemedical maritime assistance services when required.
