Critical data — instantly at the point of care
The Problem We Solve

When seconds matter,
information saves lives.

When a first responder arrives on scene and the patient cannot communicate, the clock is already running. Critical information about allergies, medications, DNR status, and emergency contacts is nowhere to be found.

Instant Scan — No App Needed to Read

Any NFC-enabled smartphone triggers the PHCLink Reader. A complete medical profile appears in under 2 seconds — no login, no internet, no delay.

🔒

Data Stays With the Patient — Always

Medical profiles are stored only on the physical device. No agency database, no cloud server, no HIPAA exposure. The data belongs to the individual.

👥

Built by Fire Service Professionals

Designed with 35+ years of operational experience. PHCLink integrates seamlessly into existing Community Risk Reduction programs.

How It Works

Simple for agencies.
Life-changing for communities.

A three-step ecosystem connecting fire departments, community members, and first responders.

01
📲

Create the Profile

Authorized fire department or EMS personnel use the PHCLink Writer app to enter a community member's emergency medical information during a home visit or outreach event.

💝

Wear the Device

The profile is written to a PHCLink wristband, wallet card, or refrigerator magnet — a physical NFC device the community member keeps with them or in their home.

Scan on Scene

When first responders arrive, they hold their phone near the device. The PHCLink Reader app displays the complete medical profile — instantly, offline, no account required.

PHCLink Devices

One profile. Three ways to carry it.

Every PHCLink device is pre-authenticated before shipping — ensuring only genuine devices can store emergency medical profiles.

PHCLink Wallet Card
Wallet Card
Credit card-sized NFC card fits in any wallet, ID holder, or bag. Perfect for individuals who prefer not to wear a wristband but want their profile always nearby.

The Problem PHCLink Solves

Collecting patient data on scene is arduous and error-prone.

Under the stress of a medical emergency, first responders must gather critical information from patients who are often unable to communicate clearly. The result is incomplete data, costly delays, and avoidable mistakes that put lives at risk.

📈
Patients can't remember their medications — polypharmacy is common in seniors, and medication lists are rarely at hand during emergencies.
🧠
Medical conditions are frequently misunderstood or misstated — leading to treatment decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information.
🌐
Language barriers create critical communication gaps — when a patient cannot speak English, vital medical history may be entirely inaccessible on scene.
PHCLink is the solution that doesn't just save time — it saves lives.
Operational Impact

Faster scenes.
More available units.

10 minutes saved per call at high-volume facilities reduces total scene time and improves unit turnaround
Crews return to service faster — increasing the number of calls a unit can handle per shift
Instant access to DNR status and advance directives reduces on-scene decision delays
Reduced medication errors and adverse events — meaning fewer return calls to the same patient
Financial Impact

A CRR program that
justifies itself.

Based on 1,041 combined calls per year across just 5 high-volume facilities — departments with more facilities see greater returns
216% first-year ROI with break-even reached in under 4 months — making budget approval straightforward
Community partner device funding reduces or eliminates direct costs to the fire department
$43,375 in projected 5-year savings — documented, defensible data for grant applications and budget presentations

* Based on actual fire department operational data — 5 high-volume facilities · 1,041 combined calls/year · 10 minutes saved per call
