The first website of its type in the world, SOSMyWorld (www.sosmyworld.com) has been inundated with registrations from a range of users from business travellers to extreme sports fans – thanks in part to testimonials from the emergency services.

One of the endorsements has come from police surgeon for Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, Dr Sowah Adjei.

Dr Adjei has 16 years’ experience working with various police forces in England and Scotland, and believes the service, which allows users to register important details in return for a unique username and password, is a vital one because it gives the emergency services speedy access to relevant medical records.

In particular, the police see it as a great help in finding next of kin in the event of an accident – something which would normally take hours, if not days.

Dr Adjei said: “In my opinion, it addresses two major issues: locating someone’s next of kin and quickly accessing necessary medical and allergy information.

“It usually takes at least four hours using the information most people carry with them, but this service will give us access to next of kin contact details in minutes.”

SOSMyWorld creator David Hill believes the endorsement of the ambulance service is also key, because it will help reduce instances of medical negligence – users can store details of pre-existing medical conditions and avoid misdiagnosis.

According to Department of Health statistics, as many as one in ten in-patients could experience an ‘adverse event’ such as being injected with the wrong drug.

David Hill said: “The amount of information stored on the site is completely up to the user, but could ultimately save your life by helping to avoid mistakes in medical treatment.

“Importantly no bank details or addresses or other identifying information is stored, meaning it is completely safe from the threat of identity fraud.”

The company has also been endorsed by major companies and organisations including Royal Bank of Scotland, the Metropolitan Police, the International Red Cross, and The Football Association.
