WaveWellness

Overview

For yacht operators, WaveWellness turns crew care from scattered resources into a visible, proactive wellbeing system.

The problem it solves

The crew who most need support are the least able to reach a desk, an intranet or an office hour.

Superyacht crew work somewhere a noticeboard cannot reach them and an intranet was never built for. The people who most need a support resource are the least likely to be at a desk when they need it, which is the case for putting it on a phone rather than on a website somebody has to remember to visit.

What is in it

• Video
• E-learning
• Nutrition
• Directory
• Check-ins

None of that was custom-built. An app like this is assembled from the same configurable features every Able2 app can switch on — events and listings, a news feed, private groups, chat, member directories, forms, resources and courses — arranged for this job and wearing this brand. That is why it could go live without a build pipeline, a developer account or a store review.

What your version would change

The useful question is not what this app does for them. It is what your own version would change for you — and whether that is a nice thing to have or a line on the business’s ledger. Three things.

• Your people get support where they actually are

  On a phone that goes where they go, rather than on an intranet that assumes a desk. The ones least able to reach a resource are usually the ones who most need it.

• You can show what you provide

  Structured material and check-ins give you something concrete to point at when a client, an insurer or a regulator asks what support exists — rather than describing an intention.

• New starters arrive already inducted

  Everyone gets the same material whoever was aboard the week they joined, so the quality of somebody’s first fortnight stops depending on who happened to be on shift.
