Smart Healthcare: Cruise Ship Outbreak

SimplyCast’s Smart Healthcare Cruise Ship Outbreak use case is a dynamic system that works towards improving how cruise ships interrupt the spread of contagious diseases during an outbreak on a cruise ship. This use case allows for seamless tracking of passengers as they go to different amenities through mobile tracking, allowing easy insight into close contacts in an outbreak.  In addition to its tracking abilities, this system allows for easily launchable outbreak response plans to occur. This system is an especially important measure during pandemics and epidemics to allow cruising to occur safely. 

When an outbreak occurs on a cruise ship, mitigating the spread of disease and ensuring prompt responses can be difficult. It is common to face challenges with keeping passengers aware and updated without an efficient system. In addition, it can be difficult to keep track of close contacts due to the risk of missing passengers at check-in points. This makes it harder to keep people aware of exposures, which makes it difficult to reduce the spread.  

SimplyCast offers the Cruise Ship Outbreak use case to combat the challenges commonly faced and greatly transform how outbreaks are managed.

The cruise ship outbreak use case provides many benefits to help manage the spread of contagious diseases on cruise ships. Some of the benefits that it provides include: 

• Simplify the outbreak response process: This use case greatly simplifies the response process by allowing outbreak response plans to launch at a moment's notice. Outbreak response plans can be created in advance to offer all the required response steps and make it easy to break down the next steps.  
• Easy tracking: By having a seamless check-in system, it is easier than ever to keep track of passengers' whereabouts. This makes it easier to know who should be notified of exposure to the disease and all the locations an affected passenger has been to.  
• Reduce the spread of disease: This use case helps reduce the spread of disease through its prompt response capabilities and alerting measures. Through its quick response capabilities, you can greatly reduce the rate of exposures and submit alerts to passengers to keep them informed. Allowing better safety measures to occur. 
• Easily inform passengers of outbreaks: Through launching alerts, all passengers can be effortlessly informed of outbreaks. Any close contacts can receive personalized messages to inform them of exposures promptly. 

This use case promotes safer cruising by implementing adequate responses and preparations to mitigate the spread of illnesses on cruise ships. It promotes thorough preparedness and efficient responses, allowing the health and safety of passengers and crew to be a priority. Through its implementation of practices such as check-in systems, easy-to-launch response plans, and alerts, this use case greatly promotes safer cruising practices that are critical during pandemics or epidemics.
