PRIVAWELL was co-founded by Ilona Wright after her family lived between Switzerland and France. A private health vault born from the real challenge of managing medical records across healthcare systems.
Co-founded by Ilona Wright — whose family lived between Switzerland and France — PRIVAWELL began as a direct response to losing medical continuity at every border crossing.
"When your family moves between countries, your medical history should not be left behind." — Ilona Wright, Co-Founder
PRIVAWELL was created because internationally mobile families kept losing their medical continuity at every border. A new country means a new doctor, a new system, and no way to transfer the context that matters.
The founders experienced this directly — missing records, untranslated documents, allergies communicated from memory, vaccination histories reconstructed from photographs of old paper certificates.
PRIVAWELL is the system they wished had existed. A private vault for the full medical history of a household — structured, portable, and ready for any doctor, anywhere.
Switzerland is home to over 2 million foreign residents, a significant international organisation sector, and a healthcare system that rewards preparation. It is the natural starting point for a platform built for internationally mobile families.
PRIVAWELL is headquartered in Switzerland and designed for the Swiss and Swiss-based international market first — before expanding to other countries with similar international resident populations.

PRIVAWELL is a private family health record vault that helps internationally mobile families organise, store, and share medical records across countries. It is not a wellness tracker or fitness app.
