Maritime and Cruise Industries
The maritime and cruise industries face unique challenges in providing medical care due to their remote and isolated environments. With thousands of passengers and crew onboard, medical teams must often address a wide range of health issues, from acute injuries to chronic conditions. However, the limited availability of onboard diagnostic tools and specialists, such as radiologists and dermatologists, can delay diagnosis and treatment, particularly for emergent conditions like fractures or skin infections. In these situations, medical staff may rely on costly and logistically complex medical evacuations to shoreside facilities.

Pontis Diagnostics bridges this gap by providing a seamless teleradiology and teledermatology solution tailored to the maritime industry. Using Pontis’ secure platform, onboard medics can capture X-rays and dermatology images, transmit them to experienced radiologists and dermatologists, and receive reports within guaranteed timeframes—emergent cases within 60 minutes, urgent within 4 hours, and routine within 24 hours. This quick turnaround ensures timely, accurate diagnoses that can be lifesaving and reduces the need for expensive evacuations.
Designed for Maritime Conditions
Moreover, Pontis’ platform is designed for low-bandwidth environments, making it ideal for use at sea.
