If your child can't say who they are, it can
A child who wanders, has a seizure or can't speak may not be able to answer a stranger or a responder. CDC seizure first aid tells people to:
“Check to see if they are wearing a medical bracelet…”
When to call 911 for a seizure
- The seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes.
- Another seizure follows soon after the first.
- They have trouble breathing or waking up afterward.
- The seizure happens in water.

Kids, special needs and Hero Link, answered
Still unsure? Our team is made of people who've worked the calls.
Will the bracelet fit my child?
The bracelet fits wrists from 6.5 to 9.25 inches. For smaller wrists, the wallet card links to the same profile and fits in a backpack, pocket or lanyard.
Does Hero Link have GPS or tracking?
No. Hero Link doesn't track location. It makes sure whoever finds your child can tap to see their needs and who to call.
Can I manage my child's profile?
Yes. With Hero Link® PRO family management, you can manage your child's profile from your account and update it anytime.
Can it be worn in the shower or the pool?
Yes. The bracelet is 100% waterproof and safe in heat and cold, and the chip has no battery to charge.
Do responders need an app?
No. Any NFC-enabled smartphone can tap the bracelet to open the profile, with no app or account. See which phones work.
Will first responders know to look for my Hero Link?
Not always, and we want to be upfront about that. NFC medical IDs are still new to many first responders and hospitals, so we can't promise that every responder will notice or tap your Hero Link. To give yourself the best chance:
- Keep a Hero Link wallet card behind your driver's license, where people usually look for ID.
- Tell family, caregivers and coworkers that you wear or carry Hero Link.
- Set a clear pinned alert, so the most important thing shows first.
- Share our responder training with your local agencies.
Is my child's information private?
Profiles are HIPAA compliant and encrypted, and you decide what's on them. If the bracelet is lost, you can freeze it anytime from your account.
Ready to give your child a voice?
Built by current and former first responders and medical professionals.
Hero Link® shows the information you choose to add. It doesn't track location or replace your child's care plan or advice from their doctor.
