CE certified and FDA cleared, VitalStream assists yacht crew members to transmit real-time vital signs data directly to MedAire’s medical professionals, enabling fast, accurate remote diagnosis and care.
Dr Mara Mattioli, Medical Director, Luxury Yachts, says:
Managing an ill patient remotely can be extremely challenging. We often rely on non-medical professionals to describe symptoms, and phone communications can be unstable. VitalStream’s real-time data allows for more accurate diagnoses, continuous monitoring, and informed clinical decisions—ultimately improving patient outcomes.Ideally suited for the superyacht environment, the VitalStream wearable can be fitted in just 30 seconds and requires minimal training, making it suitable for any crew member to use.
It transmits over 20 live vital sign parameters to a secure cloud-based platform. These include: continuous blood pressure, heart rate (including 12-lead ECG), respiratory rate, body temperature and haemodynamics.
Michael Hough, Founder of BHA Global, global distributor of VitalStream, says:
We’re thrilled to partner with MedAire to bring next-generation medical technology to the superyacht community. VitalStream isn’t just a monitor, it’s a lifesaving ecosystem that empowers yacht crews to deliver hospital-level care at sea, with cutting-edge AI and seamless integrations.
More than 1,000 VitalStream devices are in use globally in both hospitals and pre-hospital settings. Crucially, the discreet, wearable nature of the technology aligns perfectly with the superyacht environment. Michael adds:
enabling guests to continue their experience, knowing that any changes to their health will be quickly flagged.With real-time access to vital signs, MedAire doctors can help avoid unnecessary shoreside visits, reduce operational disruption and enhance onboard safety
The launch of VitalStream is part of MedAire’s commitment to using cutting-edge technology to protect and save lives, and coincides with the newly released MediConnect App. MediConnect supports secure, WiFi-enabled calling and improved accessibility for mental health support, including professional counselling. Together, these innovations remove any potential barriers for all guests and crew members to receive medical care and advice on yachts.
