Epilepsy and travelling abroad

A seizure far from home? Your loved one will know what to do.

The moment nobody wants to live through

Abroad, a seizure brings three extra difficulties.

01

Language

Explaining on the phone or at a pharmacy counter that it is epilepsy, which medication, which address… in a language you do not speak.

02

Numbers

Who should you call? 112, the ambulance, the nearest hospital, the repatriation assistance, the neurologist? Every minute counts.

03

Stress

In the heat of the moment, even a well-informed companion forgets the steps or the time the seizure started. They need a simple guide, right in front of them.

SOS Epilepsy Travel brings all of this together on your companion's phone, ready before you even leave.

Five tabs, everything that matters

An app designed to be used under stress.

Big buttons, big text, a typeface designed for legibility. Tap a tab to see the screen.

Included: wallet cards

Even without a phone, the essentials are in your wallet.

The app prints an A4 page of business-card-sized cards, to cut out and keep next to your European Health Insurance Card.

  • For the person with epilepsy: medical card in the local language, medication, instructions for the emergency services, contacts.
  • For the companion: what to do during the seizure, useful numbers, nearest hospital.
  • Reprinted in one click if you change destination.

Before you leave

Leave with peace of mind.

A clear checklist so nothing is forgotten, and the right procedure to follow if repatriation becomes necessary.

  • Medication for the whole stay, with a margin, in your hand luggage.
  • Prescription with the active ingredient names, understood throughout Europe.
  • Assistance policy number at hand: never organise a repatriation yourself.

Your health data

It never leaves your phone.

No account to create, no medical database. What you enter is stored on your device, and nowhere else.

Stored on the device

Name, medication, contacts: nothing is sent to our servers.

Once installed, the app works even without a network. Only calls and the hospital search need a connection.

Shared only by you

You decide who receives the profile. The accommodation address is only sent to OpenStreetMap when you start the search.

Why I created this app
“I have had epilepsy myself for a year. I have seen the stress a seizure causes the person who has it, and even more so their loved ones, who feel helpless at the very moment it matters most. As an airline pilot instructor, I spent years teaching how to handle complex situations with a checklist: I applied the same method to emergencies while travelling, one step after another, leaving nothing to chance.”
Jean-Claude Chenard · Airline pilot instructor, creator of the app

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure?

Another question? Write to us, we reply within 2 working days.

Do I need to download the app from a store?

No. It is a web app: open it with the link you receive, then tap “Add to Home Screen”. It works on iPhone and Android, without going through an app store.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes, once installed and the profile filled in: the steps, the timer, the messages and the numbers remain available offline. You need a connection to search for nearby hospitals (do it on arrival, the result is then kept) and, of course, a network to make calls.

Can the translated voice be heard during a phone call?

No: during a call, phones do not transmit sound from an app. The voice is for face-to-face use (pharmacy, hospital, bystanders). On the phone, the app shows a phrase asking for an English speaker: in many countries, 112 answers in English or adds an interpreter.

Which countries and languages?

46 countries: the whole European Union and its neighbours (Switzerland, United Kingdom, Norway, the Balkans, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia…). Voice in French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese and Dutch; app in French, English, Spanish, Italian, German and Portuguese.

Does my companion have to pay too?

No. One purchase covers the household, up to 3 devices: yours, your companion's and a spare device (tablet or second phone).

Is my medical data safe?

It stays on your device. We only receive your email address and payment details, processed by Stripe. See the privacy policy.

Does the app replace a doctor?

No. It is an organisation and communication tool: it makes no diagnosis and replaces neither your neurologist's advice nor the emergency services. Have your instructions approved by your doctor before you leave.

Can I get a refund?

The app is digital content delivered immediately: by requesting immediate access, you waive the withdrawal period. If a technical problem prevents you from using it, we fix it or refund you. Details in the terms of sale.
