Health app for Sailors

Sailors should keep health records to ensure their well-being while at sea and during their travels to different ports. Given the unique challenges and environment of life at sea, maintaining a comprehensive health journal is essential. Symptoms like seasickness, fatigue, and changes in mood can be recorded to track patterns and identify triggers, such as rough weather or lack of sleep. Measurings like blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature provide vital health information, especially during long voyages.

Lab tests, such as blood work and urine analysis, can help monitor overall health and detect any underlying conditions early. Tracking medications, including seasickness remedies and any prescribed drugs, ensures proper adherence and helps manage chronic conditions. Additionally, noting any medical procedures or treatments received during shore leave or onboard medical care ensures continuity of care and informed decision-making for future health management.
