Travelling abroad has become common for most of us. But what if we get a health problem?
We may already carry a chronic disease like diabetes or asthma.
… and we are not comfortable to communicate in a foreign language…
Unequivocal communication may become a huge and even serious problem!
But there is no need for that...
MyHealthPass is a health application for travellers who do not speak the language of the country they visit, allowing them to overcome barriers to communication with healthcare providers easy- and effectively.
It works through intuitive symbols that are complemented by text captions and real voice. You can choose the language for text captions and voice separately according to your needs. So if, for instance, English is your mother tongue, it can be chosen for the captions and German for the voice to “speak” to a German doctor.
MyHealthPass was developed by experienced doctors that organized the symbols in a meaningful sequence in order to enable users to communicate complaints and symptoms as well as their chronology and circumstances. There is also the possibility to communicate basic needs like hunger, thirst, the wish to talk to the embassy etc.
You can customize your profile by inserting crucial information about your health, like your clinical history, allergies, or usual medication. You can also register whom to call in case of an emergency, as well as your insurance number and other relevant data. Thereby you can prepare your trip in order to have information available when it is most needed. No data are uploaded. Privacy is warranted, as all information remains exclusively on the personal device.
Available languages are: English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and Arab. More are to come.
Don’t take unnecessary risks. Be prepared and take myHealthPass with you!
