Create one emergency profile
Start with one place for the information your family may need to find quickly.
How it works
How YourEMR works
YourEMR helps you organize emergency contacts, medications, allergies, and care notes. If you enable sharing, a QR scan, NFC tap, or shared link opens the information you selected without requiring the viewer to sign in. Sharing is optional.
Paper vs YourEMR
Paper is a strong backup. YourEMR goes further.
A printed emergency sheet can be valuable at home, in a caregiver binder, in a go-bag, at school, or while traveling. YourEMR provides free paper resources because families should have a physical backup. Paper and YourEMR work best as complementary tools.
| What matters | Paper emergency system | YourEMR |
|---|---|---|
| Works during outages | Works without a phone, internet connection, or power. | A fresh YourEMR printout can serve as the physical backup. Digital access depends on device battery, connectivity, and availability. Planned companion apps may add an offline emergency view with an on-screen QR code when the phone is charged. |
| Availability away from the binder | Must be physically nearby. | Can make emergency information available when the physical binder is elsewhere. |
| Updating information | Every distributed copy must be separately corrected or replaced. | Allows information to be maintained in one profile and reprinted when details change. |
| Old copies | Old copies can remain in homes, bags, wallets, schools, or caregiver packets. | An emergency link or QR code can open the current saved emergency view. |
| Sharing | Must be physically handed to each family member or caregiver. | Can make selected information easier to share with appropriate family members or caregivers. |
| Visibility controls | Once handed out, the visible information is whatever was printed on that copy. | Allows the user to control which information appears in the emergency view. |
| Supporting documents | Can point to originals and hold copies that trusted helpers know how to find. | Supports saving document scans inside a profile for review and reference. |
| Access awareness | Cannot provide awareness that the information was viewed. | Planned: connected loved ones may be able to receive an alert when an emergency QR profile is opened. |
| Best role | Remains a dependable physical backup. | Is intended to complement, not eliminate, a physical backup. |
Our recommendation: use both.
A printed emergency face sheet provides a physical backup while YourEMR can help keep information current, available, and easier to share.
