What is a QR code?

Have you ever noticed those square black and white patterns on flyers or product labels. These are QR codes, a technology similar to barcodes but with the ability to store much more data. Although QR codes have been around for close to a decade, the resurgence of QR codes grew in popularity during the pandemic. The ease of use and the ability to hold a vast array of data took off. Now, QR codes have become instrumental in various applications, with medical IDs being one of the most impactful.

QR Code Medical IDs are modern medical alert bracelets. Instead of engraving limited information on a piece of metal, QR codes can store comprehensive health details that are accessible with just a scan.

With a QR Code Medical ID, first responders can quickly see your medical history, allergies, medications, and even who to contact. This helps them make the best decisions about your care when it matters most.
