About Us
World Medical Card® could save your life.
The World Medical Card® is a physical card and App that holds your vital medical information. Medical professionals and first responders can use the information it contains to provide you with fast and accurate treatment in case of an emergency. This helps minimize the time before you receive treatment anywhere in the world.
Developed using the World Health Organization’s global standards codes (ICD-11 and ATC), the World Medical Card® ensures that health professionals and pharmaceutical personnel globally understand your condition and requirements.
World Medical Card® is for your safety in everyday life and when travelling.
How World Medical Card® Works
You can take the World Medical Card® anywhere you go, on the App on your phone, and the physical card in case of power or internet loss.
The App
It couldn’t be simpler to download the secure App.
Sign up and input your up-to-date medical information, including medicines and prescriptions, surgeries and implants, vaccines, allergies, donor status, X-rays or hospital records, photos of non-prescription medications, diagnoses and insurance details.
You will have your own personal profile, which can be accessed via the App or browser.
We encrypt all data to make it secure but make it easy for you to share with loved ones or medical personnel, with the addition of contact information and emergency buttons to relatives.
The App can translate your medical information into 135 languages if needed. In non-emergency situations, it can also help you locate doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies wherever you are.
You can share your profile with relatives, travel partners or others you trust so that they can provide you with a first line of support.
The Card
When you sign up, we will also send you your unique World Medical Card®, which will contain all your medical information sealed inside.
In an emergency where power or the internet is unavailable, a medical professional can obtain your card and access your medical history to ensure speedy and accurate treatment.
Your medical information is coded according to the World Health Organization’s global standards codes (ICD-11, ATC) to ensure that health professionals and pharmaceutical personnel worldwide understand your condition and requirements.
Your card has a unique password for emergency access to your profile to avoid misunderstandings about your health and achieve fast and correct medical treatment.
We recommend that you always keep The World Medical Card® on your person.

A Common Problem With
Medical Treatment
While traveling to Spain, the father of the founder Mr. Arne Veidung, encountered difficulty in obtaining the essential medication he required, namely the heart medicine Marevan, unaware that its active ingredient is known as Warfarin, resulting in him not receiving the necessary treatment due to the variance in brand names of medications across different countries.
“I would like to see this stupid communication problem, that ultimately can cause deaths, disappear forever,” says the inventor of the World Medical Card, Arne Veidung.
