RADNOR, Pa., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- HTH Worldwide, a global health and
safety services company, today announced that HRG North America's Affiliate
Program will be a distribution partner for mPassport(sm), HTH's new worldwide
mobile healthcare tool. mPassport subscribers have access to HTH's
proprietary global database of carefully selected emergency and urgent care
services, contracted English-speaking doctors, health and safety alerts, and
medical translations that can be accessed via mobile phone or the Internet.
"HRG North America's Affiliates have corporate clients that are conducting
business around the globe, and mPassport provides them with the peace of mind
they need to focus on the job at hand," said Chris Dane, President of HRG
Affiliates, LLC. "We're extremely pleased to offer them mPassport. Whether
they have the flu or something more serious, they'll be able to quickly find
the best doctors and hospitals to give them the right treatment and get them
back to work."
mPassport was developed in response to travelers' emerging demand to have
access to top-flight medical care around the world. It delivers subscribers
access to high-quality doctors and medical information in the palm of their
hand. mPassport is accessible via any web-enabled international mobile phone.
Users can set up their personal profile via the web so that their destination-
specific information is easily accessible and up-to-date. In addition to
doctor and hospital contacts, mPassport subscribers also get translations of
medication brand names, translations for major medical phrases useful for
communicating with hospital and physician staff, and text message alerts about
issues such as political instability, evacuations, natural disasters, medical
epidemics and other related emergencies.
"HRG North America's Affiliate customers are the ideal mPassport
subscribers because they are frequently overseas with limited knowledge of the
local medical community," said Andy Orr, HTH Worldwide's Product Manager for
mPassport. "In the past, they may have asked their hotel concierge to
recommend a doctor. mPassport is their gateway to a much more reliable and
satisfactory experience when medical issues arise."
HTH Worldwide also offers international health insurance for business
travelers and expatriates, who often have serious gaps in the coverage
provided by their company's domestic health insurance policies. HTH members
have free, unlimited access to mPassport. As an added value, they can also
request HTH to schedule an appointment with doctors listed in the mPassport
database.
