International SOS Membership App

The International SOS membership app for smartphones is a tool to help all traveling employees make the most of the International SOS membership. The app provides users:

  • one-click dialing to the nearest International SOS Assistance center for help or advice
  • instant access to the latest medical and security alerts for their current location from International SOS and control risks (with the capability to browse alerts for other locations)
  • access to the visa requirements tool, which provides travelers personalized information and advice on how to plan travel based on the passport they hold, vaccination status, and travel rules
  • on-the-go access to travel security online and medical country guides without the need to type in a membership number
  • an electronic copy of their membership number, so it’s always at hand

For first-time users of the app, this resource can be helpful demonstrating what the experience might look like.
