Set up your medical NFC tag
Your emergency profile in about 5 minutes. No app needed.
⏰ Set it up today, before you wear it or clip it to a bag. Until you save a profile, the first person to tap the tag gets to create it and choose the PIN.
1 Tap the tag
- Unlock your phone.
- Hold the tag against your phone's NFC spot: iPhone top edge, near the front camera. Android the back, around the middle. See pictures.
- A page called Emergency Profile opens in your browser.
2 Fill in your profile
Only your name is required. Add what would help someone in an emergency: medical conditions, allergies or medications, and one or two emergency contacts.
👀 Anyone who taps your tag can read everything you save, without a PIN. That's how it helps in an emergency. So don't add anything you wouldn't want a stranger to read. Only add your home address if it really helps, for example for someone who may get lost.

3 Create your PIN and save
- Choose a PIN and type it again to confirm it.
- Write your PIN down somewhere safe. You'll need it to change anything later.
- Tap Save Profile.
4 Test it
Tap the tag again. You should see your profile with a Call button for each emergency contact. 🎉
Changing your information
- Tap the tag and scroll to the bottom.
- Tap Edit Information and enter your PIN.
- Make your changes, enter your PIN again and tap Save Changes.
Forgot your PIN?
Tap your tag, copy the page's web address (it ends in a code like MT-1A2B3C4D) and send it to us. We'll clear the profile so you can set it up again from the start.
Your privacy
- Your profile is stored in a protected database.
- Your PIN is never stored as plain text.
- We never sell or share your information, or use it for anything else.
- Only someone with your PIN can change your profile.
Not working?
- Make sure your phone is unlocked, then move the tag slowly around the NFC spot. Thick or metal phone cases can block it.
- Android: check NFC is on (Settings, then Connected devices or Connections).
- iPhone 7, 8 or X: open the NFC reader from Control Center first.
- Still stuck? Send us a message and tell us your phone model.
