The emergency information gap

In a medical emergency, seconds matter. Most seniors have no way to communicate their medical history.

The average person over 65 takes 11 medications and has multiple conditions. In an emergency, that information is often unavailable to first responders unless a family member is present. An SOS card changes that.

Rated 4.9/5
Mum collapsed in the supermarket. The paramedics scanned the QR code on her wallet card before the ambulance even left the car park. The A&E doctor told me it was one of the most useful things she'd seen from a family.

Dad takes nine medications and has three drug allergies. Before this, I worried about him being admitted somewhere and staff not knowing. The SOS card fixed that. I can see exactly what they'll see.

We share the SOS card link with every new carer before their first visit. It takes 30 seconds and means they arrive knowing the medications, allergies, and who to call. It changed how we do handovers.
