About us

The Travel Medicine Agent stands for modern, reliable, and evidence-based travel medicine — digital, easy to understand, and personalized. The idea and concept were developed by Dr. Uwe Ricken, specialist in general medicine, occupational medicine, and travel medicine, who combines many years of experience and strong professional expertise to bridge the gap between traditional medical consultation and modern digital health information.

Our mission is to provide you with well-founded health guidance before, during, and after your trip — based on official sources, simple, fast, and independent of where you live. Especially before traveling, many uncertainties often arise:

Which vaccinations do I need?

What should I pay attention to in tropical regions?

What local risks are there?

The Travel Medicine Agent brings all of this together — taking into account your individual details such as destination, travel duration, and personal health situation.

We use only verified data from international and national institutions and health authorities to provide you with up-to-date and accurate information. In doing so, we uphold our commitment to reliability, transparency, and traceability — values that are just as important to us as they are to you.

Unlike many traditional services, the Travel Medicine Agent combines the benefits of a digital tool with the expertise of experienced travel medicine and general medicine specialists. This means you receive not just standardized information, but tailored guidance — fast, flexible, and accessible to everyone.

Our approach is preventive, educationally sound, and patient-oriented. We want you to start your journey well informed and well prepared — with the reassuring feeling that you are ready for all eventualities.

With the Travel Medicine Agent, we are setting new standards for digital health and travel safety management. We support you reliably in planning your trip — so that health and safety always travel with you.
