Health on Runway

A MIAMI-BASED US startup is promising to “clear the runway for takeoff” by providing health and wellness guidance for travellers while on the road.

Seeking partnerships with tour operators, travel agencies and OTAs, Runway has raised US$1.5 million in venture capital, and is seeking to take a chunk of the estimated US$12 billion annual global market for travel health.

Runway offers pre-trip online doctor consultations followed by delivery of any required drugs for conditions such as travel diarrhoea, sleeplessness, motion sickness and malaria.

The company also offers country-by-country health and entry recommendations - see runwayhealth.com.
