Worse than being sick is being sick abroad. Wherever you are, get instant care in your language via Nursebeam chat.
When it's #ihaveaflu or #stopmydiarrhea time on the road, it's not fun at all. "Should I see a doctor? If so, where?" You call your travel insurance hotline and they tell you to find a local clinic yourself. Which one? Nursebeam is your health A-team when you get sick abroad.

You make a long-distance call to your travel insurance hotline, where they suggest finding a local clinic yourself. "Which one?" you ask. Perhaps Google Maps knows — but it's not as easy as it seems.
Here's where Nursebeam comes in. Our medical assistance chatbot helps you figure out your insurance coverage and the best way forward: finding a pharmacy nearby or a trustworthy clinic, which provides care without being ripped off.
Nursebeam — your health A-team, when you get sick abroad.
Running travel insurance is not easy. Policyholders get emotional, claims come in foreign languages, and paperwork flies in from every corner of the world. The future can be golden.
Travellers rely fully on themselves. Still popular among cost-sensitive travellers. At extreme conditions, can result in severe financial difficulties.
Insurers reimburse claims after the trip, offering little help on the road. Medical bills are high. Inconvenient and expensive — like taxis before ridehailing apps.
Instant and transparent medical care delivered over a chatbot. Up to 200× cheaper for insurers, multitudes more convenient for travellers. Users recommend more, NPS goes up.
Vea and Timo both needed medical attention — Timo got a rash on his foot, Vea an upset stomach. Their insurance companies suggested finding a suitable clinic on their own, later just bringing receipts for reimbursement.
Getting sick abroad is even worse than getting sick at home. Instead of peace of mind, they got more things to worry about. It was also odd that every time you see a doctor abroad, they start from zero — they know nothing about you because they don't have access to your prior records.
That discovery sparked the creation of e-Healthstory, a safe place to keep and share your medical records regardless of clinic or country. In August, they were accepted into YC Start-up School on Advisory Track.
"If you have a health problem on the road, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… the Nursebeam."
Not everyone can afford to travel like Donald Trump with 8 private doctors, but everyone on the road should be able to have their own digital nurse. That's what Nursebeam is. Instant medical assistance over a chatbot for travellers.
Hi there! We're Vea, Hussen, Andre and Timo — bringing you instant healthcare anywhere in the world, over a chatbot. Say "Hello!"
