How Does You ID Me Work?


How You ID Me works. First responders see vital emergency ID and medical information whilst your emergency contact receive alerts to let them know you have a medical emergency.
Example: Click to enlarge
It's simple. You ID Me provides four valuable services for emergencies or if a user encounters danger: 
​
  • Provides first responders with your vital ID, emergency contact and medical information
  • Alerts your emergency contacts' phone/s to let them know you have a problem
  • Shares your first responder's contact details with your emergency contacts
  • Walkalone provides a 'distress button' that alerts your contacts with a map of your location
​
​You ID Me is used daily by many thousands of individuals and businesses throughout Britain.
If you have an emergency You ID Me quickly and efficiently provides your helper or first responder with your vital ID and life-saving information straight to their phone, tablet or PC. You ID Me works with any connected device. 

You can store as much or as little vital information as you like. The system lets you add your name, address, emergency contacts, medical conditions, medications, allergies, blood group, NHS number, donor preferences and any other important information. Most of these are optional fields.

​No app is needed so it's very fast; just what you need in an emergency, so that any first responder can immediately get to work providing the most effective treatment.

How does You ID Me work?

After activating your unique ID, You ID Me can do three things in the event of an emergency: -
​
  • Quickly display your vital information to any first responder on their phone or mobile device.
    Share whatever combination of personal ID, medical and emergency contact information that's important to you.


  • Alert your family (or emergency contact/s) to let them know that you have an emergency.
    It's easy to ensure your designated contact/s are alerted in an emergency when you are on our Platinum with Alerts Plan

  • Share the first responder's contact details with your emergency contact/s.
    It can be helpful for your contact/s to have the contact details of the person assisting you if they share  them*
