SPS LAUNCHES GEAR - A REALTIME CRISIS AND MEDICAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION, DRIVEN BY TECHNOLOGY
Says Simon Sawyer (SPS Chief Operating Officer), " !"
, designed to provide comprehensive security, medical and crisis support and assistance in the event of an emergency away from home. Its ultimate purpose is to save lives, by empowering, informing, supporting and protecting global movers – including employees, businesspeople, families and individuals – who are travelling abroad.
Through technology, GEAR mobilises instant real-time access to expert and localized support and assistance through . GEAR's comprehensive and dynamic service is activated and controlled from the palm of a hand, and instantly connects the member to location-based country and policy information, alerts, notifications, and expert support.
While travel insurance policies have real value in covering a range of financially rated travel risks, GEAR is specifically built around the threat of crisis and medical emergencies far from home. SPS has identified key areas of vulnerability as insufficient awareness of and information on travel destinations; lack of access to professionals and facilities in the area of an incident; and administrative 'red tape', which places an additional burden of responsibility on the victim (as well causing critical delays).
GEAR's specific benefits include:
Flexible plans are available for multinational organisations with employees, board members, shareholders and expats travelling or living abroad, as well as for families and individuals travelling for leisure purposes.
The range of GEAR Memberships include GEAR , which is designed for crisis situations (including natural and man-made disasters, violent crime, political risk, strike, riot and civil commotion, terrorism, hi-jacking, missing persons, detention and extortion, and kidnap for ransom). GEARx is designed for medical emergencies. GEARx Consult is an optional tele-medical service available for mild to acute medical issues.
