What does an “ambulance at sea” actually look like in real life? From first-response kits to shore-side coordination and confidential counseling, here’s how crews and guests are really supported when things get messy offshore.

In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman sits down with Emma Deal (Aviation & Maritime Division, MedAire / International SOS) to unpack what MedAire provides on board—telemedicine, medical kits, training, and case management—and why early calls and regular drills change outcomes. They dig into female wellbeing realities, mental-health support, and what’s next as AI and better diagnostics move more care onboard.

🩺 How telemedicine supports first responders—from stabilization to shore-side referrals

🧰 What’s actually in the medical kits (and why training is the backbone)

📈 Real volumes: seasonal case loads and why “call early, call often” matters

🚑 Planning for remote cruising: evacuation paths, oxygen/fluids, and six-hour scenarios

🧠 Confidential counseling access for crew (no captain authorization; multi-session support)

🧪 The near future: smarter devices, easier vitals, and AI-assisted onboard diagnostics

👩‍🍼 Female wellbeing onboard: practical pathways to earlier help and better outcomes

🧯 Building the habit: extending MOB/fire drills into medical drills that stick

Because when preparation, training, and 24/7 support come together, safety isn’t a slogan—it’s your system.
