Optimize Crew Health and Reduce Costs
Gal3n eliminates the reliance on basic care for crews spending weeks or months at sea. Our system utilizes FDA-cleared diagnostic devices and secure telehealth connections, empowering onboard personnel to perform comprehensive, remote exams. This integration allows companies to effectively manage all health issues onboard, significantly reducing the need for costly medical evacuations. The result is improved crew well-being, enhanced regulatory compliance, and increased operational efficiency across your global maritime fleet.
Background:
OceanLink Shipping, a global cargo company, operates vessels that spend months at sea with limited medical staff and equipment. When crew members fell ill or sustained injuries, the lack of diagnostic tools often led to costly diversions or emergency evacuations, impacting delivery schedules and operational costs.
Challenge:
The company needed a reliable and compliant telehealth solution to provide real-time medical evaluations for crews during long voyages reducing unnecessary evacuations while maintaining safety and productivity.
Solution:
OceanLink implemented the Gal3n platform across its fleet, equipping each vessel with G-Pods and G-Carts that included FDA-cleared diagnostic devices such as digital stethoscopes, otoscopes, dermatoscopes, and vitals monitors. Through Gal3n’s secure telehealth interface, onboard medics or trained crew could perform full remote physical exams, while physicians onshore guided care and reviewed data instantly.
Results:
• 40% reduction in medical evacuations and diversions
• Improved crew health outcomes and faster medical decision-making
• Stronger compliance with international maritime health regulations
• Lower operational costs and reduced downtime
Conclusion:
With Gal3n, OceanLink transformed its vessels into connected care environments, ensuring hospital-grade medical support at sea. The result: safer crews, uninterrupted operations, and greater confidence across global shipping routes.
