Safety app launched

A new mobile application that provides business travellers with instant access to the latest location-specific medical and security alerts has been launched by healthcare, medical and security company, International SOS.  

Using the Pyxis Mobile platform, the app is supported on all leading smartphones, including iPhone, BlackBerry and Android.

The application was developed to help organisations fulfil their Duty of Care - a company's obligation to protect its employees from risks – as safeguarding employees who travel abroad to high-risk locations on behalf of their employer is an increasingly complex task.  

The mobile app quickly connects business travellers to International SOS around the world, including a one-click dial for help from the nearest Alarm Centre.

Features include:
•    The latest medical and security alerts according to location
•    Quick dial for immediate assistance whenever help or advice is needed
•    Access to existing membership online services
•    Immediate retrieval of membership number for faster alarm centre assistance
•    Access to International SOS’s global network of 68,000 professionals, including established providers, clinics, alarm centres, air ambulances, medical specialists, and security, aviation, or logistics personnel.
