Scan2Help.me Guides
Standalone CPR audio or Scan2Help.me — what helps in cardiac arrest?
Dedicated devices play step-by-step CPR audio without a phone. Scan2Help.me opens audio guidance, shared emergency data and defibrillator orientation on the helper’s smartphone after a QR scan. They solve different problems — and can complement each other.
What a dedicated CPR audio device does
A compact unit starts adult or child guidance with a switch. No app or network — useful if phones are dead or unused.
It must be physically present. It does not know the patient and shows no personal medical profile.
What Scan2Help.me opens in an emergency
Your QR code sits on a wristband, tag or card. Helpers scan with their phone. The view can combine CPR audio steps, shared allergies and medication, plus defibrillator orientation (CH/DE/AT data sources).
Multiple languages help when the helper speaks another language. You update the profile online without new hardware for data changes.
When each approach fits
A standalone device fits a home or car first-aid kit — independent of smartphones.
Scan2Help.me fits personal readiness: the code is on you, and helpers see who you are and whom to call — not only the compression rhythm.

FAQ
Does Scan2Help.me replace first-aid training?
No. Audio and profile support under stress — training and calling emergency services remain essential.
Does the helper need an app?
No. The emergency view opens in the browser after the scan.
Can I use both?
Yes. A kit device at home and Scan2Help.me on your person complement each other.
What if the helper’s phone is dead?
A standalone audio device or another phone helps. Scan2Help.me needs a working helper smartphone.
