Built for first aiders: the device must be carried and found in an emergency.
Built for you: your QR code stays on your body. After the scan, help opens on the first aider’s phone.
In the second that counts, it is often not knowledge but panic that decides. Without guidance, precious time is lost — time that can mean life or death.
Even experienced first aiders forget the simplest moves under stress. Silence and the fear of doing something wrong often lead to shock paralysis.
Chest compressions without a metronome are usually too fast or too slow. Without the exact rhythm, resuscitation stays ineffective.
What happens on holiday? When first aiders cannot understand you and do not know your medical history, precious time is wasted searching.
Scan2Help.me was built to close exactly that gap. It is the voice that breaks the silence and guides first aiders while the emergency profile speaks for the patient.
One screen, clear next steps — instead of panic and guesswork.
The solution runs on the first aider’s phone. You make sure beforehand that the scan finds you.
Contacts, allergies, medicines and notes — in a few minutes.
Wristband, tag, emergency card or lock-screen wallpaper — the same code opens the help.
In an emergency: audio CPR, your data and the nearest defibrillator — on the helper’s phone.
Relief when every second counts.
Content aligned with established first-aid guidance — for reliable orientation in moments of stress.
Safe abroad: first aiders understand your emergency information at once in their own language — no translating, no delay.
In an emergency the instructions guide the first aider safely through paediatric resuscitation — step by step, clearly, without guesswork.
After the scan, first aiders see your core medical details, emergency contacts and notes — not only for CPR, but for the whole first response until professionals take over.
The system helps first aiders find the right compression rhythm for you straight away — with a clear voice and a visible beat.
In Switzerland, about 7,000 people suffer cardiac arrest each year. Only around five percent survive. Very few can be reached by ambulance, police or fire services within the critical three to five minutes. Immediate basic life support (BLS) and defibrillation (AED) could help many more people survive. (Figures and wording based on information from the Swiss Heart Foundation.)
Public AEDs only help if they can be reached within minutes. After scanning your QR code, Scan2Help.me can show first aiders on one screen where the nearest mapped AED is within the covered regions (Switzerland, Germany, Austria) – when they choose to share their location. That reduces guesswork under stress while personal emergency information and the CPR audio guide stay at hand.
When someone collapses, every second counts. After scanning your QR code, Scan2Help.me can show first aiders where the nearest public defibrillator is (built-in data for Switzerland, Germany, and Austria) – if they choose to share their location.
We prioritise devices that volunteers have noted as available day and night, so fewer wrong doors in the heat of the moment.
Map data from OpenStreetMap: Switzerland via community datasets (OpenBracketsCH); Germany and Austria via OpenAEDMap. A broader AED overview: defikarte.ch
Short and clear — for orientation before an emergency.
Compared with a separate CPR audio device (e.g. Heartbeat Revival), Scan2Help.me runs on the first aider’s smartphone — with emergency data and a pointer to nearby AEDs.
Built for first aiders: the device must be carried and found in an emergency.
Built for you: your QR code stays on your body. After the scan, help opens on the first aider’s phone.
Standardised CPR audio only — no personal medical context.
Audio guidance plus shared emergency data (e.g. allergies, medication), emergency call and nearest AED hint.
Typically one language (often German) — hard to use abroad or without that language.
Before start: choose from 10 languages for the audio guide.
Separate device with battery and maintenance — easy to leave behind.
Passive QR (wristband, tag, card); help in the first aider’s browser — no app.
No integrated hint for public AEDs.
With location permission: nearby public AEDs (CH/DE/AT data).
Protection depends on hardware delivery.
Profile online: optional ICE lock-screen wallpaper — no wait for accessories.
Set up in a few minutes — no app required. After saving, your emergency profile is readable via the QR code.
QR accessories (wristband, card, tag) ship after you order.
No app install needed: Scan2Help.me runs instantly in any smartphone browser — important for first aiders who do not want to download anything.
Activate protection — so help is ready in an emergency.
Audio samples are in the hero above. In a real emergency the same guidance starts after a QR scan — no app, no login.
