In an emergency, helpers or doctors need to see your most important health data quickly – without logging in. There are two ways to do this.


## Two ways to an emergency profile


1. **Scan QR code:** A helper scans the QR code on your product (wristband, pendant, card...). It will take you to a page that displays your emergency profile.
2. **Enter PIN:** Alternatively, a helper can enter the PIN via the emergency page. This will give them access to your emergency record. Optionally, they can provide a phone number for callbacks (this will be automatically deleted after 30 days).


## What happens during the scan


- Your emergency profile is displayed without logging in. Personal data, Emergency contacts and Advance Directive are visible in the Free scope; during the trial phase and with Lifetime, Medical History, Quick Check and treatment instructions are added.
- Saved **Emergency contacts can be notified via email and SMS** if the required contact details are available and notifications are enabled. The confirmation status displayed in the interface is separate from this.
- **You can optionally receive an email** as soon as one of your QR codes is scanned.
- To prevent abuse, contacts will not be alerted again with each subsequent scan within an 18-hour blocking period.


## What helpers see


Depending on your plan and settings, you'll see things like:

- Personal Data and Emergency contacts
- Your medical history (allergies, medications, diagnoses...)
- The **Quick Check** (quick yes/no indications such as heart attack, pacemaker, diabetes)
- A note if you are **Jehovah's Witness** (religious guidelines on blood products)
- Your Advance Directive and – if unlocked and available – other Documents


## Quick Check


The Quick Check gives first responders the most important information at a glance. When you activate the list, you must fill it out **completely** – incomplete information can lead to dangerous miscalculations in an emergency. You confirm that you have answered each point carefully and truthfully.


## Custom Preview


Via **Emergency View** you can see your emergency profile with the same tariff-dependent areas that are shared during the scan. Check this view for important changes and before using the QR product in everyday life.
