NousMed ID Anonymous Notification Service The ReachMe notification service solves these two problems that have been plaguing everyone: How can I leave a tag on anything that will not expire or change even when I change my contact information or travel ? How can I be anonymously notified without exposing my identity or contact information? The NousLogic ReachMe service is a way for the user to be notified through a web based URL with an anonymous ID. How Does ReachMe Work? You register as a ReachMe user with an ID. The ReachMe administration allows you to configure how you can be reached through: NousLogic Watchman App Social media messaging SMS Email Phone call You then post a QR Code generated by the ReachMe web application on anywhere that you expect to be notified. Anyone looking for you simply scan the QR Code and then the web application will prompt the person to type in a message. NousLogic server will attempt to locate you through one or more notification methods that you have set up. If you are using NousLogic App, you will then be able to communicate back with the stranger looking for you without exposing your contact information. What Can You Do with ReachMe? It allows an emergency response personnel to contact the user if he is not at home in case of emergency (home on fire, tree falling). A visitor to contact the home owner Post ReachMe QR Code on luggage tag, pet or child's school bag Retail shop owner, Office worker, warehouse manager, medical staff and just about anyone who needs to be reached when they are away from their usual locations. - From version 1.3.3, we integrate with the Health app, which enables the feature to view your own ECG recordings done on your Apple Watch.
