SOSCAN

SOSCAN helps you prepare useful information for an emergency or a lost product, then write it to a compatible NFC tag. No account or subscription is required. YOUR PROFILES IN ONE PLACE My profiles brings emergency and return profiles together. Create a profile for yourself or someone you are authorized to represent. Choose “Emergency and if lost” or “If lost only”. A return-only profile does not ask for health information. CONTACTS FOR EACH PURPOSE For emergencies, enter a first name and one to five phone numbers; health information is optional. Prepare a separate list of lost-product contacts to arrange the return of products. The return view shows these numbers without the first name or health information. Emergency access remains available on a combined profile. MULTIPLE PRODUCTS, ONE SETUP Choose quantities of bracelets, helmets and backpacks. Each product has its own tag association and preparation status. Identify a tag, review the planned information, confirm writing, then scan the same tag again to write it and read it back. If the profile exceeds the tag’s capacity, reduce the information before trying again. READ AND CONTACT With an updated SOSCAN app, a compatible NFC phone can read data on the tag without Internet, an account or opening the family workspace. Without the app, a compatible tag’s link opens the Web reader with Internet; you may need to tap a notification or unlock the phone. Calls and messages are initiated by the person viewing the profile. A return message can be reviewed before opening the messaging app. No call, text message or location sharing is automatic. SOSCAN does not track the wearer. YOUR DATA AND TAGS Profiles stay on your phone and are not automatically uploaded to a SOSCAN profile server. Editing a profile does not remotely change tags. To use separate lost-product contacts, physically rewrite each affected tag and use an updated SOSCAN reader. This version still reads older formats; older readers may not recognize the new format. Removing a product from My profiles leaves its chip’s contents intact. A lost tag remains readable and cannot be erased remotely. WHAT TO KNOW Anyone with a compatible reader can read and copy a tag’s information, including health information on a combined profile by choosing Emergency. Include only what is needed and obtain permission from the people concerned. A compatible physical NFC tag is required for operations on its chip. Capacity and compatibility vary. Test tags with fictitious information, after attachment and after updates. The app does not protect tags against rewriting. SOSCAN displays information supplied by users. It does not provide a diagnosis, replace emergency services or guarantee a response. Interface available in 12 languages. Free-text notes are not automatically translated. SOSCAN is operated by 9576-0724 Québec inc.
