How each person sets it up

Each person taps their card with their phone to activate it, then builds their free medical profile: allergies, medical history, blood type and emergency contacts. Anyone who taps the card in an emergency sees their Emergencies Only screen. No app needed.

If a card is lost

The cardholder logs in and freezes it, so a stranger who taps it sees nothing. Or they turn on lost and found mode so whoever finds it can return it.

Everything that comes with each card

The card ships blank. Everything behind the tap comes with it.

    Contact us →

    Do you print the cards for us?

    No. The cards ship blank on both sides, and you print them on your own ID card printer. We email a free print-ready Hero Link medical ID design for one side, if you want it.

    Will they work in our ID card printer?

    They’re standard CR80, 30 mil white PVC cards for direct-to-card ID printers that print both sides. If you’re not sure about your model, ask us before you order.

    Does printing over the card affect the chip?

    The NFC chip is sealed between the card’s layers, and printing on both sides is what these cards are made for.

    Do we need to order a lot?

    No minimum. Volume pricing starts at 12 cards, and for larger runs you can get a quote.

    Will Hero Link work with my phone?

    Most phones from the last several years can read it. iPhone XS and newer read it automatically, iPhone 7, 8 and X use the NFC Tag Reader button in Control Center, and Android phones need NFC turned on. Check your phone →

    Who can see my information, and is it secure?

    Hero Link is HIPAA compliant and your data is encrypted, and you choose what goes in your profile. It only opens when a phone is tapped right against your Hero Link, the person has to confirm it's an emergency first, and every view is logged with their IP address and location.

    What if I lose my Hero Link?

    Log in to your portal and freeze it, so nothing is shown if someone taps it. Or turn on Lost & found, so whoever finds it sees only your name, email and phone to return it to you.

    Can I update my profile later?

    Yes — anytime, anywhere, and changes are instant. Add a new condition, allergy or contact whenever life changes.
