How does the QR code system work?
You can visit our website to request a new QR code. Once you receive it you can activate it online and input all of your medical information. Once it's activated, you are good to go!
Is this a sticker, a card, or both?
Both! It will initially come in a 2x2 sticker for your helmet or car seat. After activation, you can order your QR code as a small wallet card OR additional helmet sticker — whatever works best for you.
Can EMS scan this without an app?
What kind of medical info is stored?
Is my data secure and private?
Can I update my info later?
Do you store my info online, or is it in the QR code itself?
How do I create a profile?
Just register at our webiste, and you are all good to go!
Can I put this on my helmet or jacket?
You can place this anywhere that is accessible to EMS. We recommend the top or back of the helmet, where EMS will be able to notice it relatively quickly.
Will the QR code still work if I don’t have cell service?
What do EMS providers see when they scan the code?
Is this approved by any EMS organizations or hospitals?
Is this free?
Yes — it is 100% free. We believe every rider should have access to this potentially life-saving tool.
How can I support the project or help spread the word?
Follow and share our mission on Instagram @hitmehelpers, tell your riding group, and encourage others to create a profile. Every scan could save a life.
