Australian-based travel and insurtech start-up, Ok Away has announced a new partnership with Air Doctor, an Israeli tech company that helps keep travellers connected and informed.
Ok Away, a B2C mobile SaaS app, allows family and friends to connect while apart through sharing mapped location, address, local time, history, itinerary arrivals, departures and failure to arrive, place alerts with safety and travel warnings.
Travellers can also now access local doctors, who have been vetted and speak their language via a link through the Ok Away app to the Air Doctor platform. This means fewer travellers stranded if they fall ill abroad.
Ok Away founder & CEO, Veronica Hey, said: “We are really excited by our partnership with Air Doctor. Our shared vision is to provide travellers with a safer and more connected travel experience.”
CEO, and founder of Air Doctor, Jenny Cohen Derfler, added: “We are happy about teaming up with Ok Away as Air Doctor’s mission is to help people around the world when they need quality medical treatment.
“While we’re already operating in 75 countries, we’re always working to expand our network.”
Ok Away operates an e-commerce platform for travel safety products through the app, with discussions to now extend purchase through interested airport retail outlets.
Ok Away is currently progressing through the US-based Newchip Accelerator Program.
“It’s an exciting time to grow a travel tech platform with the return to travel,” Hey said.
“We are keen to form new partnerships in the travel space to expand further.”
