Happy National Carers Week

Who cares about our carers?

In support of all the incredible work that National carers do within Australia, let’s come together to raise awareness of the 2.65 million Australians caring for their family members and friends.

Carers represent a diverse range of people coming from different cultures, who are of different ages, with different lived experiences and responsibilities. But, all of them balance the act of caring responsibilities with other important life responsibilities like work, and study alongside physical and mental health.

SafeMate understands the importance of providing resources to help aid those aiding others. SafeMate is both for patients and their carers, helping to reduce stress in a medical emergency for carers by taking some of the responsibility to communicate medical information with first responders.

How?

SafeMate stores vital medical information on easy-to-wear or display QR codes so that imperative information can be immediately shared with Paramedics in an Emergency.

Like what?

Well, whatever you like! The beauty of SafeMate is that it’s entirely up to you or your patient what to share on their private or public account.

Private information for Paramedics may include:

• Medications

• Allergies

• Selected Medical information

• Surgical Histories

• Complicated Diagnosis’

• Personal patient requests

• Emergency Contacts

• Trigger words or preference words

• Location of Legal Documents

• How to get Home Access

Public information might include:

• Name

• Emergency Contact information

  and alerts such as;

• Allergies and where the patient carries their Epipen

• If they have memory loss problems
