The Ship Doctor
Train for the decisions that happen before help arrives.
Offline emergency simulations, ECG, POCUS and medevac decision training for doctors, nurses, paramedics, medics and students working beyond immediate hospital backup.
Free to start on Google Play · Offline-ready after setup · Built by an emergency and maritime physician
When you're 500 nautical miles from the nearest ICU, there's no trauma team upstairs. No cardiologist on call. No CT scanner. Just you, your kit, and your training.

Emergency training for care beyond hospital backup
Born at sea. Built for clinicians and students working anywhere help is far away.
Clinical Simulations
Immersive emergency scenarios with evolving vitals, weather conditions, and branching decisions set in real maritime environments.
ECG Lab
Maritime-context ECG challenges with clinical correlation for shipboard rhythm interpretation and remote cardiology.
Operational Medicine
SBAR-M communication frameworks, bridge language, escalation pathways, and USPH/VSP-aligned protocols.
Medevac Decision Tools
Structured evacuation frameworks for defensible decisions when helicopter range is exceeded and weather is deteriorating.
Outbreak Management
Norovirus, respiratory and GI outbreak containment using VSP-aligned isolation, reporting, and governance frameworks.
Emergency Pathways
No-CT stroke protocols, shipboard STEMI management, remote sepsis workflows, and delayed evacuation care.
When deterioration happens 500 miles from ICU
52-year-old crew member. ST elevation V2-V4. Nearest port: 14 hours. Helicopter range exceeded. Weather deteriorating. Your decisions matter.
Simple pricing. Full access.
Start free — sample scenarios, ECG previews, and core calculators cost nothing. Go Pro to unlock every simulation, the full ECG library and quizzes, every clinical pathway and interactive algorithm, and the complete offline toolkit.

Everything you need at sea, in one tool
Maritime emergency training in your pocket — scenario-based simulations with live patient deterioration, a maritime ECG lab, emergency pathways, and clinical tools. Built by a ship doctor, for care beyond reliable connectivity.
- 150+ emergency scenarios — evolving vitals, weather & branching decisions (Sim Lab)
- Clinical pathways — anaphylaxis, STEMI, cardiac arrest, sepsis, asthma/COPD, seizure
- ECG library with quizzes — from STEMI to hypokalaemia
- 8 clinical calculators — NEWS2, qSOFA, HEART, Wells, PERC, Alvarado, CURB-65, CHA₂DS₂-VASc
- Drug formulary, resource inventory, interactive algorithms, outbreak response
- Offline-ready after setup — role modes for Doctor · Nurse · Medic · Student
Core training and references work offline after setup; install, purchase, restore, updates and some account services need internet.
Free to start. Pro: $4.99/month or $39.99/year — save about 33%. US reference price; the store displays the final local price.
Built by a clinician who has lived the medicine at sea.
Every simulation and framework comes from direct operational experience — isolation, limited resources, weather constraints, and clinical decisions made without hospital backup. On day 4 of a transatlantic crossing, when the nearest hospital is 400 miles away and the weather is closing in, you learn what really matters in your training.
What clinicians say about the training
"The simulations are the closest thing to real onboard emergencies I've found. The STEMI scenario alone changed how I prepare for cardiac events at sea."
"Finally, decision frameworks that understand the reality of being 500nm from a hospital. The medevac tools have directly influenced our SOPs."
"I used the Playbook and Interview Guide to prepare for my first ship doctor role. The clinical frameworks gave me a real edge in the interview process."
