Patients in emergencies often have no way to communicate life-saving information to first responders and emergency medical personnel—current medications, relevant history, allergies. This lack of information leads to loss of life, treatment errors, and billions of dollars in avoidable costs to patients, providers, hospital systems, and insurers. FirstID is a real-time service that enables first responders and emergency medical personnel to access patients’ vital health information simply by scanning the subscriber’s fingerprint into an app on the first responder’s or provider’s mobile device. Subscribers choose what information to share: allergies, current meds, acute health history. FirstID also provides real-time incident notification to subscribers’ emergency contacts and forwards profiles retrieved on-scene onward to the ER.
