PHCLink puts a patient's critical medical information in the hands of first responders the moment they arrive on scene — with a single tap, no internet required.
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.
Any NFC-enabled smartphone triggers the PHCLink Reader. A complete medical profile appears in under 2 seconds — no login, no internet, no delay.
Medical profiles are stored only on the physical device. No agency database, no cloud server, no HIPAA exposure. The data belongs to the individual.
Designed with 35+ years of operational experience. PHCLink integrates seamlessly into existing Community Risk Reduction programs.
A three-step ecosystem connecting fire departments, community members, and first responders.
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.
Writer App · Licensed Agencies OnlyThe 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.
Wristband · Card · MagnetWhen 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 is designed for the populations fire departments encounter most during medical emergencies — seniors, individuals with chronic conditions, and those who cannot communicate their own medical history under stress.
Faster treatment decisions mean reduced scene times, fewer medication errors, and crews back in service sooner. The numbers below are based on actual fire department operational data.
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.
* Based on actual fire department operational data — 5 high-volume facilities · 1,041 combined calls/year · 10 minutes saved per call
PHCLink is developed by fire service professionals for the agencies and communities they serve.
