How To Use Data from Medical ID Bracelet

If you've come across somebody in need of medical or another type of help wearing the Med Tap medical ID bracelet, you can immediately provide them with the support they need.

The Med Tap is an NFC-enabled device, meaning that it can be used the same way as credit cards. That said, you can help the user of the medical ID bracelet in the following way:

1. Tap the NFC medical bracelet with your phone.

2. The NFC reader will recognize the NFC tag, and your screen will show the user’s profile.

3. Once getting access to the profile as a viewer, you can use the info provided in the medical ID bracelet profile to reach out to the user’s emergency contacts.

4. In some cases, you can also use the NFC medical bracelet’s information to provide the user with first-aid help or find somebody who can quickly.
