Product concept
Tim's Thailand Emergency Card
If you are unconscious, everything depends on what is in your wallet.
A wallet-sized card with the details an ambulance crew, a hospital admissions desk or a stranger would need in the first ten minutes.
The idea
What would be on it
- Name and nationality
- Emergency contact, with country code
- Blood type, if known
- Allergies
- Key medical notes
- Insurer, policy number and emergency line
- Preferred hospital
- Optional QR code linking to a private profile
Printed in English and Thai, on a card that survives a wallet. Nothing clever, nothing that needs a battery, nothing that needs a signal.

Why it is not a product yet
Because medical data deserves more care than a web form
The moment a card carries a QR code, it needs somewhere for that code to point. That means storing allergies, conditions, medications and insurance details — some of the most sensitive data a person has.
We are not prepared to put that behind a public URL, and we are not prepared to build a personal medical profile system until we can do it properly: encrypted, access-controlled, deletable on request, and hosted somewhere appropriate.
Until then, this stays a concept, and our advice is the free version: write the details on a card by hand and keep it in your wallet. It works, it costs nothing, and it cannot be breached.
