Invest in Your Safety: Outfit Your Yacht with a Telemedicine Kit

If you think the ROI on a telemedicine kit is too low, consider this: A medivac helicopter costs a minimum of $35K, or nearly twice the initial cost of purchasing a telemedicine device. When the health and safety of passengers and crew aboard your vessel is on the line, you’ll find an ounce of capital investment is worth a pound of cure.

Of course, the value of saving a life is incalculable. But for less serious injuries, the costs add up fast: Burning additional fuel, air ambulance or other emergency health services, and diverting your party from their destination. With modern mobile telemedicine you can virtually bring a doctor to a patient with high-resolution images and video, recorded in real time. A telemedicine kit is an investment in the safety and security of everyone aboard your yacht, and the ROI can be recouped after a single health emergency.

However, your investment can still pay before the need to use the device ever presents itself. Knowing that you’re keeping everyone aboard your yacht safe, including friends and family, can take a lot of the potential stress out of planning a long cruise, or travelling with anyone who may be elderly or have preexisting health conditions.

Most yacht owners invest a great deal in security, including camera systems and other costly technology. A telemedicine kit should be considered a part of this essential equipment that allows the smooth management of your vessel to remain a top priority. The comfort of everyone on your yacht is always a consideration, and the peace of mind that mobile telemedicine provides may be the essential piece you are missing.

Our digiMed Five Plus Telemedicine Kits are not only for dire emergencies. Communicating with a doctor on shore makes treating a minor injury or health concern much easier. Instead of waiting until you can make port or racing to your destination and burning excessive amounts of fuel, the early intervention from a qualified doctor can allow the comfort and enjoyment of your guests to remain at a high level, whatever your location.
