LanzAbility Will Introduce Personalised QR Code Technology At The Disability Expo 2023

Last Updated on 02/01/2024 by Crip Life

 

The LanzAbilty Ice band. Black and red in colour. Four are shown on a beach with the sea in the background.

Mark your calendars for the 6th and 7th July, as LanzAbility is gearing up for the Disability Expo 2023, where we will be introducing personalised QR code technology that will help you share your care needs quickly and efficiently while on holiday in sunny Lanzarote.  

LanzAbility introduces a Personalised QR Code

LanzAbility is leading the way as the first organisation in the care world to utilise a personalised QR code that encompasses all crucial information about an individual. Gone are the days of cumbersome clipboards accessible to only one person at a time. Instead, a small QR code can now be attached anywhere, whether it’s a sticker on a wheelchair, an ICE (In Case of Emergency) band on the wrist, or even an ID card.

Our QR code technology exemplifies the care world’s core principle by adapting to each individual’s unique needs. It therefore comes in many different options including:

  • adjustable ribbon band
  • elasticated bracelet
  • smart key fob
  • smart sticker
  • Velcro tag
  • adjustable watch strap attachment
  • sewn-on smart button
  • laundry tag
  • sewn-on smart tag
  • adhesive smart disc
  • smart badge
  • smart QR tag
  • smart virtual tag

 With just a quick swipe of your mobile phone, you can effortlessly access, update and share all relevant information within seconds. This innovative technology ensures seamless communication between everyone involved in the caring process, resulting in enhanced care for those who need it most. From specific requirements and allergies to equipment, medication and a fully updated care assessment plan, the comprehensive QR code contains it all.

Meet the super app Aurora

To bring this remarkable technology to life, LanzAbility has partnered with Aurora, a visionary super app designed to improve and save lives, support communities, facilitate fundraising and empower local businesses.

Powered by the super app Aurora, our ICE tags enable paramedics, first responders and carers to quickly retrieve critical information such as medical conditions, allergies, medication details and history during emergency situations. Simultaneously, they facilitate communication with family, friends, loved ones and carers during crucial moments.

The genius of the ICE smart tags lies in their seamless integration with everyday smartphones, utilising NFC technology available on most devices. Simply tap your phone against the smart tags to interact with them – no additional equipment or apps are required.

Together, LanzAbility and Aurora are revolutionising the care world with this personalised QR code technology, enhancing emergency response and improving the care and quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

The possibilities are endless, and we look forward to introducing the immense potential of our innovative technology at the Disability Expo 2023 in London, where the team of LanzAbility will be floating among the visitors OR find them on their trade stand number DX Lanzability.

This prestigious event – which takes place on the 6th and 7th July – will unite over 10,000 attendees from across Europe and beyond, serving as a platform for collaboration, inspiration and the exchange of innovative ideas for the disability and care world.

Advertise With Crip Life™

Crip Life™ Media PackThe Crip Life™ advertising strategy is “Pay What You Can (PWYC).” We know this is very different to most if not all, online magazines. PWYC is a business model that doesn’t insist upon set prices for its goods or services. Instead, it asks clients to pay what they feel the product or service is worth. We have taken this one step further by adding what you can afford to pay.

We want to place adverts for a wide range of clients. So, whatever the size of the organisation, if you want to share a personal story with our readers or promote a product or service, contact Joanna Baker-Rogers.
