In such cases it becomes very difficult to provide medical personnel with a correct translation of information about organism specificities, chronic illnesses etc (your health and life depend on a correct understanding of data by a local physician; those who encountered such situation must understand its very criticality and importance…the author of this blog had himself witnessed such situation).

Looking through the list of new applications last week (in order to prepare a column on “New And Noteworthy IPhone Medical Apps Released Last Week In App Store”) we came across with a recently issued app  “sos4life” which solves the issue of an authentic medical translation of health-related data, supporting 10 languages.

In other words, once you enter health-related data in a native language, you automatically get its authentic translation into 10 languages; and you can be sure that in the case of a critical situation the local physician will understand all the information without the “killing” distortions.

It’s important to mention additionally that the application design  is very user friendly, compared to most of health-related applications, thus favoring to input data (while it’s a hell on earth to find time to input health-related notes in other applications).

Highly recommended for all who travels a lot!
