An emergency card for your parent that works offline

Address and landmark, medicines, allergies, blood group, doctor, hospital and contacts on one card — shared in one tap and readable without a connection.

The first questions in any emergency

What medicines is she on? Is he allergic to anything? What is the blood group? Which hospital? Who has the key? The person at the door — a neighbour, an ambulance crew — cannot answer them, and you are on another continent.

What is on the card

• Name, age and sex.
• Full address with a landmark and the gate or floor.
• Current medicines with strengths.
• Allergies and major conditions.
• Blood group.
• Doctor and preferred hospital.
• The latest readings, and notes you add — an insurance or Ayushman card number, for example.
• Family and local contacts.
• India’s emergency numbers: 112, and 108 for an ambulance.

Shared in one tap

From the app, send the card on WhatsApp to whoever is going to the house. In an alert that reaches your local contacts, the essentials are sent to them automatically.

Works without a connection

The card is kept on your phone, so you can read it out on a call from a lift, a plane gate or a basement car park.

Always current

The medicine list on the card is the same list the reminders use. When you update a medicine, the card updates.

Who should have it

• You and your siblings, on your phones.
• Your parent, on their phone and on paper by the door.
• Both local contacts.
• A helper or attendant, if there is one.

What to say when you share it

"This is Amma’s emergency card. Her address and the landmark are at the top. Her medicines and allergy are below. Please show it to the ambulance staff or the doctor." A card sent with one line of explanation is used; a card sent alone is scrolled past.

Keep it current

Look at the card after every doctor visit and every hospital stay. The medicine list updates by itself when you change a medicine in the app; the doctor, hospital and contacts are yours to keep up to date.
