The GWU Maritime Medical Access Program and Diginonymous developed the Digi+Doc™ service, a maritime medical solution leveraging GWU’s decades of experience and Diginonymous’ innovative products to provide immediate, round-the-clock phone and video medical consults for ships at sea. Digi+Doc subscribers, including current shipowners such as Maersk Line, Limited, have immediate access to a team of more than 550 physicians and specialists at the GWU Medical Faculty
Digi+Doc communications systems are based on the DigiGone™ software platform, which offers low-cost, encrypted video and audio conferencing, video streaming, Voice over IP (VoIP), IM Chat and file transfer, optimized for maritime satellite channels. The DigiGone software installs on most PCs, laptops, tablets or smartphones. It can work over VSAT, Inmarsat, Thuraya IP and other networks, with satellite airtime costs much lower than other commercial teleconferencing services, such as Skype.
