Senior Safety: Why Older Adults Need NFC Emergency Tags

Falls are the leading cause of injury death in adults over 65. NFC emergency tags provide information with nothing to wear or maintain.

The Statistics

• One in four Americans over 65 falls each year
• Every 11 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall
• Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries

When a senior falls and can’t communicate, the minutes before responders arrive are critical.

Traditional Solutions Have Gaps

Medical alert necklaces must be worn and charged. They only work at home. NFC tags work everywhere—in home, on walks, during travel.

Essential Info for Senior Profiles

• All current medications — Including dosages and timing
• Allergies — Especially to common emergency treatments
• Medical conditions — Heart disease, stroke history, diabetes
• Medical devices — Pacemaker, insulin pump, oxygen concentrator
• Blood type — Critical for emergency surgery
• Emergency contacts — Multiple family members

Multi-Language Support

If your senior travels to regions where you don’t share a language, AlertNFC supports 9 interface languages. Critical medical info should be entered in English or the local language.

One account manages profiles for multiple seniors. Family can collaborate on keeping info current.
