NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Universal Marine Medical Supply International (“Unimed” or the “Company”), the leading global provider of pharmaceutical and medical solutions to the maritime industry, today announced the launch of medO2, an expanded range of maritime medical oxygen solutions designed to enhance safety and compliance for vessels around the world.
Onboard oxygen monitoring is often conducted manually, which can be inefficient and prone to errors. medO2 is a subscription-based oxygen service integrated into Unimed’s proprietary medScale+© digital platform, providing vessels with a streamlined way to manage and monitor both current and future onboard oxygen supplies. These supplies are essential for supporting urgent care and daily health needs for crew and passengers. Currently, over 6,500 vessels globally utilize the medScale+ platform through a mobile app or web browser, allowing Unimed’s medical team to remotely monitor, support, and deliver effective care to a growing customer base.
"Ensuring a sufficient supply of high-quality oxygen onboard is crucial for maritime crews, both for routine and emergency care,” said Søren Andersen, CEO of Unimed. “The addition of medO2 to Unimed’s subscription model will make it easier for maritime operators to maintain compliance with IMO and SOLAS medical oxygen requirements. Integrating this service with our medScale+ platform exemplifies our commitment to providing customers with greater efficiency through digital innovation. We are excited to reinforce Unimed’s position as the premier maritime medical partner, safeguarding health at sea for vessels globally."
“Unimed continues to drive the maritime industry forward with the next generation of technology-driven health solutions,” said James Zenni, Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of ZCG. “The launch of medO2, coupled with the increasing adoption of medScale+, enables Unimed to elevate the standard of care while scaling its business globally.”
For nearly 50 years, Unimed has been the trusted choice for maritime medical solutions, consistently evolving to meet the industry’s compliance and risk management needs. The medO2 expansion reflects Unimed’s ongoing commitment to digital and health innovations, ensuring maritime operators and their crew can navigate international waters with peace of mind.
