SPS LAUNCHES GEAR - A REALTIME CRISIS AND MEDICAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION, DRIVEN BY TECHNOLOGYIn an unpredictable and uncertain world, peace of mind is a precious commodity. Being prepared when it comes to safety, health and security (both physical and financial) while travelling away from home is essential. LONDON, Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- September 2022 sees the launch of GEAR (Global Emergency Assistance and Response). Through cutting edge technological innovation, the SPS Global Assistance Group (SPS) has exponentially closed the gap from crisis and/or medical incident to resolution. This being said, the true edge of this product is built around SPS's precise understanding of what goes into supporting and protecting human beings in real-life extraordinary circumstances, built on the back of 30 years' worth of experience. Says Simon Sawyer (SPS Chief Operating Officer), "We have been waiting to launch this project for a number of years now, but with travel resuming we feel it is finally the appropriate time. Over the years SPS has been in business, we have developed a wealth of knowledge in providing evacuation assistance across all corners of the globe, so to be able to offer this experience to the industry within a membership is truly exciting!" GEAR is a travel assistance membership, 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 suport and assistance through GEAR Tech – a 24/7 connection powered by proprietary user-friendly smartphone APP technology. 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. What's makes GEAR different to a standard travel insurance policy? 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.
