For more than 25 years, Italy\u2019s Videoworks<\/a> has been a go-to company for yacht owners worldwide who want the latest onboard technology. The firm is known for installing audiovisual setups that rival those inside mansions ashore, as well as satellite communications, cybersecurity systems and, most recently, home automation packages that incorporate artificial intelligence. The custom interfaces that Videoworks offers<\/a> let yacht guests control everything from streaming movies to lights and air conditioning aboard yachts, while the company\u2019s Active Noise Control Systems help keep the din down wherever yacht owners want peace and quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the company is offering Health Remote Monitoring, an area of medicine that\u2019s been around for decades but that really started to accelerate along with the internet\u2019s evolution in the 1990s. During the pandemic the past few years, telemedicine systems got another technological boost, when all kinds of medical experts, including doctors and veterinarians, began offering patient consultations via video calls and online data transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, numerous types of telemedicine systems are available, many of them in collaboration with service centers where on-call medical professionals are at the ready for incoming information and requests for help. Videoworks says it\u2019s taking a slightly different approach, though, with more of a focus on patient privacy\u2014what with overall privacy being a key concern aboard most superyachts worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat makes this service truly original is the direct connection with the patient\u2019s personal physician, rather than with a service center, as is commonly the case with telemedicine, in which the patient\u2019s data is analyzed by whichever doctor is on duty,\u201d the company said when announcing the service. \u201cThis preserves the patient\u2019s privacy and, above all, ensures direct communication with his or her own doctor, who is familiar with the patient\u2019s pathologies and state of health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts in the telemedicine field say one of the top trends to watch is the increasing use of AI in remote-monitoring systems, for everything from diagnosis and diagnostics to patient follow-up. Expectations also include an increased use of wearables in these systems, with watches and other technology now able to track people\u2019s heart rates, blood pressure and other important vital signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these system integrations happening aboard a yacht, while still maintaining personal privacy for owners and guests, will require expertise in cybersecurity protocols, satellite communications and more. That\u2019s what makes Videoworks so well positioned to become a major player in the telemedicine marketplace on the world\u2019s oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September at the Monaco Yacht Show, Videoworks gave showgoers a glimpse of the future, allowing them to test the Health Remote Monitoring system. Visitors to the company\u2019s booth could measure their blood oxygen level and heart rate using a classic pulse oximeter, reproducing what the system does on board\u2009a yacht.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
