How will first responders access my iD PROFILE?Updated a year ago
The system was designed to be very simple to access in emergency situations. A First Responder can easily access your profile in two ways: One, they can dial the telephone number on the ID. Two, they can navigate to www.idprofile.com to view your account. Many emergency vehicles are now equipped with computers that have internet access. Nearly all EMTs, Police Officers, Doctors, Nurses, and Good Samaritans carry cell phones. Additionally, smart phones (like iPhone and Android) have the capability of accessing your profile via phone or internet.
In the event that First Responders do not have Internet access or cell phone service (on a mountain, or something), they can always communicate with their dispatch office via radios, etc. This situation is pretty unlikely, but you can be rest assured that First Responders will nearly always be able to access your profile, one way or another.
In a hospital setting, Emergency Doctors, Nurses, and Staff can easily access a printable version of your profile to help admit, diagnose, and treat you properly.
