Abstract
Advancements in technology have led to the development of medical applications (Apps) and websites. Their use is especially relevant in the field of travel medicine, be it for travelers before their trip to get specific information on how to best prevent diseases and medical emergencies, or during their trip on what to do in case of health problem while abroad. These resources are also relevant for health professionals to prepare their clients before departure and know how to deal with medical problems they are not familiar with. We searched for apps and websites for the general public and health professionals in the field of travel medicine, based on the findings of an already published systematic review, updated and adapted to make it appropriate for local use in Switzerland.
