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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-dentistry) and the like, you can feel better faster and enjoy the remainder of your vacation.

Rather than relying on [travel insurance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time2pack) and returning home, putting up with the pain or illness, or getting into a potentially dangerous [foreign health care](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safemedicaltravel) 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.
