CLIA

Starting January 2026, all CLIA-member cruise lines must have ultrasound equipment onboard, enhancing diagnostics for trauma, cardiac issues, and abdominal pain. While this improves passenger care, it poses challenges as many onboard doctors lack ultrasound expertise due to infrequent use.

Live Guided Ultrasounds

Pontis Diagnostics revolutionizes ultrasound imaging with live radiologist guidance, ensuring optimal image capture and accuracy. This real-time collaboration enhances diagnostics, streamlines workflows, and improves patient outcomes.

Importance of Radiology Review

Radiologists provide more accurate and consistent interpretations of X-rays and ultrasounds than ER physicians or GPs due to their specialized training. Studies show that radiologists are better at detecting critical findings, reducing diagnostic errors and improving patient outcomes. For example, a study in The Journal of Emergency Medicine found radiologists had a higher detection rate for critical findings (Mucci et al., 2020).

Importance of Dermatology Review

Tele-dermatology provides a crucial solution for seafarers and cruise passengers, who face high skin condition risks due to UV exposure, saltwater, and irritants. With skin issues making up 25% of maritime medical complaints, tele-dermatology enables prompt diagnosis and management, reducing costly shoreside referrals and operational disruptions.

Pricing

Pontis Diagnostics offers high-quality diagnostic services with no subscription or setup fees. Operating on a fee-for-service model, cruise lines only pay for the services they use, eliminating the cost of unused subscriptions and providing full control over healthcare expenses.
