When an emergency strikes, time is of the essence,
especially when there isn’t much time and someone’s life is on the line. A South
African company has developed a cellphone-scannable card that carries the
emergency details of the owner that can help paramedics do their job faster in
the event of a serious accident.
The card simply attaches to your car or motorcycle, or can be kept in your wallet, and when
the card is scanned using a capable cellphone, your emergency details will be made
available to those who need it. The QRLifeline card will be readable anywhere
in the world providing that there is a cellphone signal. The card will hold
names, contact phone numbers, addresses, next of kin and medical details of the
card holder, all useful information at an accident scene.
Negotiations are continuing to fully adopt the system in South
Africa and more than 1000 people have already signed up for the service which
costs less than R1 a day and may even be free with car finance or purchase
deals.
Once registered, details can be filled in at www.qrlifeline.co.za . QRLifeline will
send you a subscription renewal once a year.
