When anyone scans the QR code on your card, bracelet or wallet pass, a public emergency page opens in their browser. Here is exactly what is on it.
What the page can show
- Your name and photo
- Up to two emergency contacts, each with a Call button
- Allergies
- Medical conditions
- Medications
- Blood group and NHS number
- Your doctor or clinic name and phone number
- Your emergency notes
- Your 10 most recent health log entries, but only if you have switched this on. It is off by default.
Every section is optional. The page only shows what you have filled in and chosen to share. A section you have switched off shows only the word Hidden.
Built for emergencies
- Buttons at the top let the reader choose larger text or high contrast.
- Your emergency contacts sit in a bar at the bottom of the screen, ready to call with one tap.
- A text message button lets the responder send your contact a message that can include where they are.
- No app, account or sign-in is needed to view the page.
If you have set a PIN
With a PIN set, the page first shows only your name, your photo and your emergency contacts, so a responder can still call for help. Everything else appears once your 4 to 6 digit PIN is entered, and stays open for 15 minutes. After 3 wrong tries on one phone, PIN entry is blocked for 15 minutes. Sections you have switched off never appear, even after the PIN. See Set or change your PIN.
You are told when your page is opened
A few minutes after someone opens your page, you get a notification and an email. The app keeps a record of each visit under See who viewed your profile on the Profile tab. It shows the time, the type of phone, the approximate location, and whether the PIN was entered. It cannot tell you who the person was.
Check it yourself
