FAQs
How is this different from a normal medical ID?
Traditional Medical IDs are build for medical professional but the problem is that not all conditions require medical intervention. Sometime you just need a little bit of gentle support to help get through the medical episode. It de-escalates the situation, and empowers people who are not medically trained to give on the spot support.
Do people need an app to scan it?
No.
It works with any modern smartphone using the same technology as tap-and-go payments when you pay for your groceries using your iphone. Just hold a phone near the wristband and your profile opens instantly.
What happens when someone scans my wristband?
Your profile opens instantly on their phone.
It clearly explains:
- what’s happening
- what they should do
- who to contact
So they can help you calmly and correctly.
Is this only for emergencies?
