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 COVID Trip Planner tool, which provides travelers personalized information and advice on how to plan travel based on the passport they hold, vaccination status, travel rules, and any quarantine mandates.
  • 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
