Open Create a health ID card for emergencies

Created by Gabriela Savity
Closes on

The government should create a card similar to an ID card that includes a chip, a picture, and all relevant health details. This could help people who have accidents and can't communicate with the ambulance crew properly, such as about their allergies.

This card could be used as an ID and can help ambulances give the correct and fastest first aid. This will enable them to identify the patient more easily and provide assistance more quickly and course in the correct way. To achieve this, the government needs to update the database and integrate it with the ambulance tablets and card reader.
