For Fleets, Operators and Training Programmes
Offline Emergency Training for Maritime, Offshore and Remote-Care Teams
The Ship Doctor is an offline emergency medicine simulation app built by a practising emergency and maritime physician. This page is for organisations that want their clinicians rehearsing shipboard and remote-site emergencies before those emergencies happen — not for individual users, who can simply download the app.
Enquiries are answered by Dr. Osolika directly. Bulk access and tailored onboarding are quoted per organisation; there is no self-serve institutional plan.
Who This Is For
Teams that carry clinical responsibility a long way from a hospital
The common factor is not the industry. It is the gap between a patient deteriorating and definitive care becoming available.
Cruise and expedition medical teams
Ship doctors, nurses and paramedics who need to rehearse shipboard deterioration, medevac decisions and bridge communication as a team rather than individually.
Offshore and remote-site medics
Rig, vessel, mine and remote-installation medics working single-handed, where the next clinician is hours or days away.
Medical staffing and crewing companies
Organisations placing clinicians into maritime and remote roles who want candidates arriving already familiar with the operational environment.
Training programmes and medical schools
Educators teaching remote, austere, expedition or maritime medicine who want case-based practice that works without reliable connectivity.
What Exists Today
What the current app provides
Everything below is in the app now, on iOS and Android. Nothing on this page describes a roadmap item.
- Offline emergency simulations. 150+ evolving cases where the patient changes in response to the decisions the clinician actually makes, rather than a fixed question-and-answer quiz.
- ECG interpretation practice. Rhythm and 12-lead interpretation with structured feedback.
- POCUS practice. Acquisition and interpretation work for the views that change management in a remote setting.
- Resuscitation drills. ACLS and PALS decision drills, run against the clock.
- Clinical pathways. Emergency pathways, oxygen endurance planning, SBAR-M documentation structure and medevac decision logic for the shipboard and remote context.
- Offline-first design. Core training and references work offline after setup; installation, purchases, restoration, updates and some account services require internet access.
Bulk Access
Bulk access and tailored onboarding, by quotation
Because every fleet, programme and staffing model is different, institutional arrangements are discussed individually rather than sold from a pricing table.
- Bulk access for a defined group of clinicians, scoped and quoted per organisation.
- Tailored onboarding — a walkthrough of how the simulations map onto your own protocols and escalation routes, so the app supports your procedures instead of competing with them.
- Guidance on using the app alongside existing training, including where it complements drills you already run and where it does not.
- A direct line to the clinician who built it for clinical and content questions.
What is not being promised
There is no institutional dashboard, no administrator console, no seat-management portal, no completion certificate and no learner-analytics reporting. If a feature is not described above as existing today, it does not exist, and no institutional feature is promised unless it already exists.
The app is an educational and rehearsal tool. It does not replace clinical judgement, accredited training, employer procedures, telemedical (TMAS) advice or vessel protocols, and it carries no CME, CPD or accreditation status.
Background
Who builds it
- Built and written by Dr. Ezekiel Aluda Osolika, an emergency and maritime physician, from shipboard and remote practice rather than from a classroom syllabus.
- Featured in Seatrade Cruise News — “New Ship Doctor app aims to boost medic confidence at sea”.
- Available on the App Store and Google Play, with 5K+ Google Play downloads.
