Doctor-Finding Travel Apps

TraveDoc Locates Foreign Health Care When You Don't Speak the Language

— April 28, 2014 — World
Foreign health care can be worrisome if you are in a country where you do not speak the language. A new app called TraveDoc helps you locate a certified medical professional who speaks your language when you're on holiday. With specialist doctors, dentists and the like, you can feel better faster and enjoy the remainder of your vacation.

Rather than relying on travel insurance and returning home, putting up with the pain or illness, or getting into a potentially dangerous foreign health care situation, TraveDoc even helps you book the appointment at the hospital or hotel (hello house calls!). For added convenience, the app can send you a text message reminder and will work on any internet-connected device as well.
Trend Themes
1. Doctor-finding Travel Apps - TraveDoc app offers convenient access to certified medical professionals who speak your language while on vacation, disrupting traditional foreign health care services.
2. Specialist Doctors On-demand - The TraveDoc app allows travelers to easily find and book appointments with specialist doctors, dentists, and other medical professionals, providing a disruptive innovation in accessing healthcare abroad.
3. Remote Medical Consultations - TraveDoc enables travelers to receive remote medical consultations, including house calls, via its app, revolutionizing the way foreign health care services are accessed.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Hospitality - The travel and hospitality industry can benefit from integrating TraveDoc's services to provide enhanced medical care options for their customers, creating a unique selling point.
2. Digital Health - TraveDoc's app can revolutionize the digital health industry by facilitating remote medical consultations and improving accessibility to healthcare services in foreign countries.
3. Language Translation Services - The language translation industry can partner with TraveDoc to develop efficient systems for real-time language translation between medical professionals and travelers, ensuring effective communication during medical appointments.
