Emergency medical ID
CareSpoken: Your emergency medical ID, on your phone
CareSpoken keeps your emergency medical profile on your phone and puts a QR code on your lock screen, watch face and wallet card. Anyone helping you can scan it and see what matters, and if your phone goes quiet for longer than usual, the people you choose get a heads-up.
Set up CareSpoken →Free for the emergency profile and QR code. CareSpoken Plus $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year, 14-day free trial.
What CareSpoken does
- Fill in your profile once. Conditions, medications, allergies, care documents and emergency contacts. For each section you can say "none" so a responder knows it isn't just missing.
- A QR code where people look. On your lock screen, your watch face and a printable wallet card. Scanning it opens a simple emergency page with no app and no login needed.
- Two layers. The emergency page shows what a stranger needs: allergies, conditions, medications and who to call, with your age but never your date of birth. The full record, including care documents, sits behind a PIN you share.
- You're told when it's scanned. When your card is scanned, you're notified. On Plus, your contacts can be too.
- Check-ins without the nagging. Your phone checks in quietly in the background. If it goes quiet, you get an "Are you OK?" notification with a one-tap "I'm OK" before anyone else is told.
- Private by design. Your medical details never appear in notifications, logs or links. Every view of your record is recorded, and you can delete your account and everything in it.
Who it's for
People living with chronic conditions, older adults living alone, caregivers and family, people with serious allergies, and anyone who travels or exercises alone and wants someone to know.
Questions people ask
What does a responder see when they scan my code?
A simple emergency page with allergies, conditions, medications and who to call, plus your age but never your date of birth. No login, so it works for anyone who finds you, and it loads fast on a weak signal.
Is CareSpoken a medical device?
No. CareSpoken is not a medical device and not a replacement for 911. It notices when your phone stops checking in; it can't tell why. In an emergency, call 911.
How much does it cost?
Your emergency profile, QR code, responder page and PIN-protected full record are free, for good. CareSpoken Plus adds check-ins and contact alerts for $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year, with a 14-day free trial.
Do I need the app to start?
No. Build your profile, print your wallet card and save your QR code from any computer or phone browser. Check-ins need the CareSpoken phone app, which isn't in the app stores yet.
