The emergency information card is bundled with phone and SMS action items to the next of kin, tapping the icon however is still passive and will reveal the emergency information card and relevant medical information.

The app is already equipped to forward the card to a hospital emergency unit via email or through a shared cloud based utility such as Evernote or Dropbox.

There are of course possibly more efficient ways to use this which we can explore with interested parties.

Barcode types :

In 1973, industry leaders in the US recognized a need for standard barcodes it resulted in UPC (Universal Product Code). over the past 40 years the movement is already global, it expanded beyond product codes, to tracking shipping containers and everything along the trade supply line. The organization that currently handles this is a global non profit organization called GS1. GS1 has a web based lookup service, unfortunately it is not mobile friendly. We are closely monitoring changes in their service to see if we can incorporate it in the product as soon as available.
