The Coordination Layer for Emergency Healthcare Abroad

When a tourist has a medical emergency, nobody coordinates care. Tourist SOS is the platform that connects travelers, clinics, hotels, and insurers in real time.

The Problem

A tourist breaks their leg in Bali. Then what?

The hotel calls a taxi. The taxi goes to the nearest clinic, which can't handle fractures. The clinic calls a hospital. The hospital wants payment upfront. The tourist's insurance requires a guarantee letter — but it's 2am in the insurer's timezone. The hospital won't treat without payment confirmation. Hours pass.

This happens thousands of times a day across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and every region where tourism outpaces healthcare infrastructure. There is no system connecting these parties. Every emergency is coordinated ad hoc — via WhatsApp, phone calls, and personal contacts.

Tourist SOS replaces this chaos with infrastructure.

Travel, healthcare operations, and insurance coordination are converging — but the infrastructure connecting them does not exist. Tourist SOS sits at this intersection.

Product Ecosystem

Six products, one database

Every product in the ecosystem shares a single Supabase backend. A provider onboarded through the website is immediately available to the traveler app. A case created by a traveler is instantly visible in the command center.

How It Works

From emergency to resolution

01

Traveler presses SOS

SOSA AI collects symptoms, location, insurance info, and language. Creates a structured case in seconds.

02

Provider matched and notified

The system identifies the nearest vetted provider with the right capabilities. The clinic sees the case immediately in SOS Professional.

03

Insurance verified in real time

Tourist SOS contacts the insurer, obtains the guarantee letter, and confirms coverage — before the patient arrives.

04

Care coordinated

SOS Command tracks the case from intake to discharge. Transport, admission, treatment, and payment are all visible in one place.

05

Everyone gets paid

The provider gets a guaranteed payment path. The insurer gets structured claims data. The traveler gets care without negotiating from a hospital bed.

Business Model

Four revenue streams, one platform

Free for travelers. Revenue from the providers, hotels, and insurers who need the coordination.

Travelers

Free

Emergency app is free. Premium tiers for pre-trip medical profiles and priority response.

Providers

SaaS + per-case

Monthly platform fee for clinics/hospitals. Per-case coordination fee for emergency intake.

Hotels & Resorts

SaaS

Guest safety compliance platform. Liability reduction. Emergency protocol integration.

Insurers

Per-verification

Real-time insurance verification and claims coordination. Reduces fraud and processing time.

Competitive Advantage

Why this is hard to replicate

Patented coordination architecture

Cross-border emergency medical logistics, provider routing, and real-time insurance verification — patented and defensible.

Network effects on both sides

More providers make the platform better for travelers. More travelers make it essential for providers. Every case strengthens the network.

Academic research backing

PhD research tracking Time to Definitive Care (TTDC) and Time to Guaranteed Payment (TTGP) — metrics nobody else measures. Publishable, citable, credibility-building.

AI trained on real emergency data

SOSA AI improves with every case. Intake quality, provider matching accuracy, and triage confidence compound over time.

Ground-level provider relationships

Built from actual emergency logistics work in Southeast Asia. Provider contracts and operational trust are not things you can shortcut.

Expansion Strategy

Southeast Asia first, then everywhere tourism outpaces infrastructure

We started in Laos — a country with 4.6 million tourists per year and almost no emergency coordination infrastructure. It forced us to build everything from scratch: provider relationships, insurance workflows, transport logistics.

That playbook now extends across Southeast Asia — Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam — where tourism volume is massive but emergency healthcare coordination is still ad hoc. Each new country adds providers to the network, cases to the AI, and data to the research platform.

The long-term opportunity is global. Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa have the same structural gap: tourists arrive, emergencies happen, nobody coordinates care.

Let's talk

If you invest in healthcare infrastructure, travel technology, or platforms with network effects — we should connect. We're building something that doesn't exist yet.
