CareTag - Because Every Second Counts in an Emergency

In a moment of crisis, every second counts. Imagine a paramedic arriving at an accident to find a patient unconscious and alone – not knowing their name, health conditions, or who to contact. It’s a scenario no one wants to face. Yet with millions of ambulance 999 calls in England every year, such emergencies happen every day. In those critical moments, having instant access to a person’s medical information can mean the difference between timely, effective care and dangerous delays. This is why we created CareTag – a simple idea born from a profound need: to give first responders and caregivers the vital information they need immediately, even when you or your loved one can’t speak for yourselves.

Why CareTag Exists

CareTag’s story began with real conversations on the front line. Our founder spent years working in healthcare, speaking with GPs, nurses, carers, charity workers, and families living with medical challenges. One comment in particular lit the spark – a motorcyclist said, “If I ever come off the bike, I’d want something that instantly tells the paramedics who to call and what they mustn’t give me.” That sentence never left us.

Parents of children with severe allergies, carers of seniors with dementia, and people managing diabetes, epilepsy, or heart conditions all shared the same fear: what happens if I can’t communicate when I need help most? The message was clear – a simple, reliable solution was desperately needed.

A Growing Need for Quick, Reliable Information

In the UK today:

  • Over 5 million people live with diabetes
  • Around 630,000 have epilepsy
  • Nearly 1 million are living with dementia
  • Up to 21 million suffer from allergies, some of which can trigger life-threatening anaphylaxis

These aren’t just numbers – they’re real people whose lives could depend on a first responder knowing the right details in seconds. Research shows that having key medical information immediately available helps paramedics avoid harmful treatments and speeds up correct care. First responders are trained to look for medical ID on a wrist or in a wallet as part of their standard assessment. We asked ourselves: why not make that clue more powerful, comprehensive, and instantly accessible?

One Tap to Safety: How CareTag Works

CareTag is a UK-designed smart medical ID kit that keeps essential information literally one tap away. It’s deliberately simple, private, and always ready.

Here’s how it works in three easy steps:

  1. Set Up the ProfileDuring your order you create a secure online emergency profile. You choose exactly what to include: name, photo, conditions, allergies, medications, emergency contacts, and any helpful notes (“non-verbal”, “carries EpiPen”, etc.). The profile is linked to your unique CareTag NFC chip. Your one-time £39.99 purchase includes the full kit and 5 years of secure hosting – no subscriptions, no renewal fees, ever.
  2. Equip the WearablesYour CareTag package arrives ready to use: a comfortable, waterproof silicone
    wristband and a backup wallet card, both with built-in NFC. Wear one, carry one, or do both – however suits your daily life.
  3. Fast Emergency AccessIn an emergency, any smartphone tapped to the wristband or card instantly opens the profile in the phone’s browser. No app, no password, no delay. Within seconds the responder sees exactly what they need to help safely and call the right people.

Empowering Patients, Families, and First Responders

  • Instant, accurate information – no guesswork about allergies or conditions
  • Prevents harmful errors – paramedics see “severe penicillin allergy” or “pacemaker” at a glance
  • Faster reunification – for a lost child or person with dementia, emergency contacts are right there
  • Everyday peace of mind – families rest easier knowing help will have the facts, even if they’re not present

Early user Lowri B. says:“Super easy to use and the quality of the kit is excellent. It gives me confidence that if something happens, first responders will have everything they need. Great idea, well executed.”

Protecting Your Loved Ones, Simply and Securely

Privacy and security were built in from day one. Your profile is only accessible by physically tapping the CareTag – there’s no GPS tracking, no continuous monitoring, and no data shared unless someone activates the tag. All information is encrypted, stored in the UK, and fully GDPR-compliant. You stay in complete control: update or delete your profile anytime, and after 5 years it is automatically and permanently deleted if you choose not to continue.

Ready When You Are

The CareTag kit is available now for a one-time payment of £39.99 (free UK shipping). It includes the NFC wristband, wallet card, and 5 years of secure profile hosting. No subscriptions. No hidden fees. Just long-term peace of mind.
