In this amazing live demonstration Lee shows just how effective You ID Me Platinum Plan is; any viewer watching can see just how quick and easy it is to access lifesaving vital ID and emergency from an emergency ID product (bracelet, necklace, walled identity card etc) from a simple phone. When you receive your You ID Me product it takes minutes to set up and you can update it at any time by logging in to your profile at You ID Me.
The service helps paramedics, first responders and first aiders access your vital life-saving information in seconds from any smartphone, tablet or PC. The service may be used to alert up to two emergency contacts if your profile is accessed, to let them know that you have a problem, straight to their phone. In this demonstration the first-aider (Lee in this demonstration) can also use the system to send his own contact details for emergency contacts so they can make contact to find out the latest on the situation. No app is needed to use You ID Me so the system is super-easy for anyone to use. For more information on You ID Me please click the links below or contact us for information: - What is You ID Me?

This is so that we can alert you if there is any problem with the you ID service or a service that we rely upon. Due to this necessity of maintaining this open channel of contact with subscribers to our ID service, we routinely discontinue any subscriber for which we do not hold a valid email address. This includes email addresses that 'bounce' and unsubscribes. Although you will receive some marketing emails from us (You ID Me) from time-to-time we will never pass on or sell any of your details to third parties. Not necessarily.

 You ID Me is the worlds most effective emergency ID system. This is because in the event of an accident or an emergency it does a number of essential things: -
For more information on the features of the service that many thousands of people choose for their medical and emergency ID service start here Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is the use of radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to an object.
A tag can be read from up to several feet away and does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the reader to be tracked. At You ID Me we use NFC which is a type of RFID tag called a passive RFID tag. What is NFC? Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless communication technology a bit like WiFi or Bluetooth.
It allows the transfer of data between two devices, such as a mobile phone and NFC tag. Typically, NFC is used to pass data from one device to the other. So you might use NFC to pass data from an NFC enabled mobile phone to another NFC enabled mobile phone, from a mobile phone to a payment terminal or from an NFC tag to a mobile phone. At You ID Me we use NFC tags embedded in some of our SMART ID products to provide a link to a secure database where our customers create an emergency ID profile. The short answer is yes.
Using the unique 12 digit ID code printed on the reverse of the ID card, the You ID Me system works with any connected device: Smartphone, tablet or PC. Behind the label is an NFC chip / tag. The instruction printed on the label advises that the ID code can be entered at www.You-ID.me OR that the label may be read with an NFC phone to retrieve the wearers emergency details. iPhone users must use the ID code method. This is because iPhone users do not have full use of the NFC decoder (its use has been locked down by Apple). All other smartphones may use both methods to retrieve the same info. Things to bear in mind: - i) Entering the ID at the You-ID.me website remains the most common method of access. ii) It is likely not to be your own phone used in the event of an emergency - So why has Apple locked the NFC on my phone? iPhone 6 was the first of the iPhones to join the majority of smartphones containing an NFC controller. However, at the moment, this new iPhone is “locked down” and may only be used by with the Apple Pay mobile payment system. This means that iPhone 6 users are not yet able to take advantage of the massive potential of NFC through apps, tags and communication. Despite this, in the 72 hours following its launch, a million credit cards had been registered with Apple Pay - an indication of the popularity from Apple's user base. Apple may open up the “locked down” access and that iPhone will join Android, Blackberry and Windows in scanning tags. When however is anyone’s guess. As a percentage there are far more Android, Blackberry and Windows users than iPhone users which is reassuring when one considers the likelihood of a Smartphone carrier successfully scanning the wristband. You ID Me is an Internet based service that works wherever there is an internet connection.
Customers' emergency profiles are held on a secure server. If the wearer of one of our emergency ID products is in an accident or an emergency anywhere in the world it should be possible to access their emergency ID profile from that country in the same way it would be accesses in the UK. If a foreigner were to access the emergency ID profile of a You ID Me customer, the information would usually show in the same language as it has been entered at set-up. Often modern browsers offer the option to translate what is shown into the native language. However this of course cannot be guaranteed as cannot the quality of any such translation. Please note alerts may not work to mobile phones in all countries. Some countries have specific regulation s preventing and blocking text messages from automated sources. Others have restrictions such as allowed time slots during the day when SMS can be received from automated sources. Due to the number of suppliers 'in the chain' it would be impossible to guarantee alerts globally. We therefore recommend testing your personal setup if you are a Platinum with Alerts customer. You may contact our customer services for further information in this respect. |
