Important information quickly available in an emergency
Unexpected situations and medical emergencies can occur at any time and without warning. Whether it’s circulatory collapse, a fall, or sudden loss of consciousness — every minute counts in these moments. SOS-Check makes it possible to quickly and easily access important health information and emergency contacts with just a single scan of your smartphone. This is particularly important when individuals are unable to communicate their medical condition themselves or alert others to important medical considerations.
Inside every SOS-Check product is an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip that enables wireless data transmission over short distances. The chip is linked to a secure URL. When the product is scanned with an NFC-enabled smartphone, a personal online profile opens automatically. This profile provides a clear and centralized overview of the stored health information and multiple emergency contacts.
Thanks to the NFC chip's protected integration into the SOS-Check product, it is shielded from external factors such as dirt, moisture, and water.
Compared to handwritten emergency information on paper, SOS-Check offers several additional advantages. Paper can become damaged or illegible due to external factors. Furthermore, the available space is limited, meaning that often only a selection of the most important information can be recorded. SOS-Check, on the other hand, allows relevant health data and emergency contacts to be stored and presented in a clear and comprehensive way. This ensures that essential information can be accessed quickly and easily in an emergency.
SOS-Check - Versatile applications
SOS-Check is designed to provide support, particularly in situations where individuals are unable to communicate their condition or share important medical information due to their health status. In such moments, it is essential that relevant information can be accessed quickly and easily. This includes details about the individual's health condition, existing medical conditions, medications and allergies, as well as emergency contacts and guidance on how to respond appropriately to the person in need.
SOS-Check is not only a valuable source of support for individuals themselves. Family members and friends who accompany and assist them in their daily lives can also benefit from having this information available digitally.
Particularly in exceptional situations where stress, fear or shock can make clear communication difficult, SOS-Check can provide valuable relief and help ensure that essential information is not overlooked or lost.
Furthermore, there are numerous other situations in which having important information readily accessible can be helpful or even crucial:
- Accidents involving children: For example, when children get injured while playing at the playground.
- Extensive medication lists: Individuals who take multiple medications can store their complete medication list in a clear and organized format, allowing family members, doctors and first responders to access it quickly in an emergency.
- Workplace accidents on construction sites: Enabling colleagues to respond quickly and appropriately in an emergency.
- Neurodegenerative diseases: Such as dementia.
- Chronic conditions: Such as cardiovascular diseases, asthma or diabetes.
- Allergies and intolerances: For example, allergies to certain active ingredients in medications.
- Neurodivergence: Individual needs and important guidance on how to support the person, can be stored.
- Mental health conditions: Stored information can help others to better understand the situation and provide appropriate support to the individual.
SOS-Check is particularly valuable for individuals with medical conditions and disabilities that are not immediately visible to others. Since these conditions often go unnoticed in everyday life, bystanders may lack the necessary knowledge to properly assess the situation in an emergency. By making relevant information easily accessible, SOS-Check can help promote understanding, reduce uncertainty and facilitate appropriate support based on the situation.

SOS sticker
The SOS stickers are designed for long-lasting use thanks to their durable PET material. The integrated on-metal layer allows them to be applied to both non-metallic surfaces, such as phone cases, and metallic surfaces, such as walking aids and wheelchairs. Their waterproof properties also make them suitable for outdoor use, for example on protective helmets or bicycle helmets.
Stability and Safety
NFC Chip Reliability
The NFC chip integrated into each emergency product is durable and resistant to damage. One particular advantage of NFC technology over QR codes is that it does not rely on good lighting conditions to be scanned. This means that smartphones can access all stored information even in complete darkness.
In addition, all products are water-resistant and designed to withstand different weather conditions. Another key advantage is that even if the SOS-Check product shows signs of wear and tear, the NFC tag will continue to function reliably, ensuring that all stored information remains accessible.
Data Storage
Neither the individuals concerned nor those assisting them need to download an app to access the emergency contacts and health information. However, an internet connection is required to access the personal profile.
All information can be updated as often as needed and in real time, without any additional costs or the need to purchase a new product. Storing information in the personal profile is also completely free of charge, allowing users to access and review their details at any time. The only cost involved is the initial purchase of the SOS-Check product.
Security and Data Privacy
You decide which information you wish to share and whether you would also like to provide medical documents via a link, for example. Depending on your individual needs and intended use, you can choose to enter as much or as little health-related information as you wish.
An NFC chip can only be read over a short distance, typically between 1 and 10 cm. This makes it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access the information stored on the NFC tag simply by walking past. To access the stored information, a smartphone must be deliberately held in close proximity to the product.
How it works
Step by step to your SOS-Check profile
Step 1: Make sure that NFC is enabled on your smartphone. On iOS devices, NFC is already enabled. On Android devices, you need to activate NFC in your settings.
Step 2: Scan the SOS-Check product with your smartphone. iPhone: Hold the tag against the upper edge of the back of your smartphone, near the camera. Android: Hold the tag against the centre of the back of your smartphone.
Step 3: When scanning the emergency product for the first time, you must first activate your personal profile. You can then fill in your profile with the relevant information, including: name, age, emergency contacts, medical diagnoses, medications and important instructions for first responders.
