These wearable items hold links to personal information uploaded by the wearer (or authorized agent/carer of the wearer) onto an online database, e.g. wearer's name, photo for identification, allergies, medication list, usual doctor details, next-of-kin details. This information is very useful in emergency events such as a medical emergency where the wearer is unconscious, unwell (e.g. mentally unwell or dementia), or lost and unable to identify themselves (e.g. disability) to authorities. Such wearable items that contain these QR codes will include, but are not limited to, watch sleeves, bracelets, bands, necklaces and other jewellery items. A health professional such as a clinician or paramedic can use their smart phone, QR code reader application to access the linked personal information. Having safety information such as a medication list and allergies list that's readily available will optimize treatment (prevent drug induced allergies and drug interactions) in a medical emergency by saving time and help save a wearer's life. There are many occasions where an unconscious or unwell person cannot be readily identified as they do not have any identification on them (e.g. no wallet, driver's licence, young children) and this innovation will allow any member of the public to help identify them to authorities quickly and easily. This wearable item with a QR code will help provide fast access to the most valuable information at a critical time of need such as medical emergencies, and many other situations such as a lost person who is not identifiable by usual means (e.g. disabled person who is unable to communicate, person with dementia or lost toddler).
