How MIPACE Works

From choosing a device to someone tapping it in the moment it matters, here’s exactly what happens, step by step.
1. Choose your device

Pick the format (or formats) that fit your life; card, wristband, sticker, keyring, necklace, patch, or another option.

2. Create your account

Set up your MIPACE™ account in a few minutes, this is the one account that everything else connects to.

3. Build your profile

Your profile is organised into sections: Identity, Communication, Assistance, Medical, Emergency, Neurodiversity/Cognitive, Safety, and Other. Fill in whichever are relevant to you, none are compulsory.

4. Choose what's public

Nothing is shown to anyone by default. Each section has its own visibility switch, so you decide, section by section, what a finder will actually see.

5. Set your priority keywords

Add up to eight short keywords; an allergy, a condition, an instruction — that stay visible right at the top of your public profile, above everything else.

6. Add your emergency contacts

Add the people who should be contacted, with a name, relationship, and phone number. You can mark a contact as active or inactive, and order them by priority.

7. Set an immediate emergency contact (optional)

Choose one active contact to feature as a prominent “Call Emergency Contact” button, right at the top of your public profile, designed to make reaching the right person as fast as possible.

8. Assign your device

Link your physical device to your profile (or, if you’re managing more than one, to the right profile, see Multiple Profiles).

9. Wear, carry or attach it

Your device is now live and connected.

10. Someone taps or scans it

Most modern phones read the device without needing an app. The tap opens a temporary, one-time link, not a fixed address that could be guessed or reused.

11. Your public profile is shown

Instantly, exactly as you set it up: your name, your priority keywords, your immediate emergency contact (if set), your active emergency contacts, and every section you’ve marked public.

A note on the moment itself

The public profile page is deliberately simple, built to be read in seconds by someone who doesn’t know you and may be under pressure. Sections are shown as a short accordion list so the most relevant information is easy to scan without digging through paragraphs.

What stays private

Anything you haven’t switched on stays inside your account, visible only to you. You can add as much detail as you want without any of it becoming public, visibility is always a deliberate choice, never a default.

IMPORTANT

This process supports fast communication, it doesn't replace calling emergency services.
In an emergency, always contact 999 (or the appropriate number) directly.
