Private Internet Access
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to connect to a US Electronic Medical Record, many of which block IP addresses from outside of the United States.
We use Private Internet Access (PIA). It’s simple to configure, you can connect up to 10 devices simultaneously, and in 5 years of using it have never run into glitches. It’s also slightly less expensive than NordVPN.
Notarize
Notarize enables you to notarize documents electronically and online.
Within a week of moving to Portugal, Ashwini and I each received an email from a state medical board asking us to notarize a form. We initially groaned at the idea of finding the closest US embassy and making an appointment just to notarize a couple documents. But after discovering Notarize, within minutes, we crossed a pesky task from our long to-do list.
