WELLalarm™ in Action for Travelers

  • Tom is a frequent international traveler. He has no major chronic condition or illness, but uses the Wellalarm system to store basic medical information, emergency contact info, birth certificate and passport. 

    Learn why your driver's license is not enough identification in an emergency.

     

  • While alone on a business trip in Paris, Tom collapses. A bystander calls an ambulance, which takes Tom to the local hospital. The doctors at the hospital recognize the medical symbol on Tom's WELLalarm medical alert wallet card and access his account.


  • Doctors are immediately able to access Tom's vital medical information and emergency contact info and contact his family.

     

For frequent travelers, it is essential to be prepared for unexpected emergencies. With the stress of business travel and the uncertainties of international travel, having one less thing to worry about makes your trip go smoother.

WELLalarm™ links your vital information to you via “smart” jewelry, wallet ID cards and other WELLalarm™ products so the health information you choose to make accessible in an emergency are always connected to you. Just because you don’t operate on the same 9 to 5 schedule as the average doctor, it doesn’t mean your health should wait. By having all of your documents in one system, WELLalarm™ allows you the opportunity to send or receive medical forms at any time, day or night. With WELLalarm™, you can enjoy the peace of mind that your loved ones will be automatically contacted in an emergency and that vital medical information can be accessed in a foreign country or language.

Additional uses of WELLalarm™ for the frequent traveler include:

  • Adding emergency contact information and enabling those attached to your WELLalarm™ account to be notified automatically by phone or text message in an emergency.
  • When traveling in and out of time zones, stay on track if your medication must be taken at specific times of day with the WELLalarm™ messaging service. Be reminded of doctor’s appointments by text and email when you’re on the road.
  • Uploading all of your prescription information, so if you ever forget to pack it, you’ll set pre-reminders for refills and the system will automatically send you messages to your phone or email reminding you about a prescription.
