Digital health breaks down at the exact moment travel partners need it most: a medical event abroad, an in-flight reaction, a lost prescription, or a travel insurance claim that needs documentation fast. In those moments, the problem isn’t lack of care—it’s lack of trusted access.
Today, health data is scattered across portals, PDFs, and apps. That fragmentation creates friction for travel providers, insurers, and employer travel programs: delayed assistance, slower verifications, higher support load, and greater exposure when sensitive information gets forwarded through insecure channels.
The risk is real—and growing. In 2024, the protected health information of 276,775,457 individuals was exposed or stolen, reinforcing why privacy can’t be an afterthought.
Travel adds urgency. The CDC advises travelers with allergies to carry clear information (including translated allergy details) and emphasizes planning for medications and documentation while abroad. Meanwhile, travel insurance workflows often stall when medical reports or bills are missing—documentation gaps can delay processing and resolution.
This is why health data ownership is the next frontier: user-controlled, encrypted, permission-based sharing that moves with the individual—across borders, providers, and partners—without expanding unnecessary access.
BlueRed solves the trust gap by bringing the record back to the user. It enables travelers to securely share the right information at the right time—supporting faster assistance, smoother claims, and safer journeys—while reinforcing privacy as the standard, not the exception.
