For the person helping you
With an NFC-compatible phone and Internet, the profile opens in the browser: no app to install. Without Internet, reading requires the SOSCAN app.

Install the free app, prepare your profile, then write it on your tag. Find the links and steps here, even if you no longer have the packaging.

A video guide
Follow the demonstration to prepare your profile and use your SOSCAN.
Has your information changed?
Edit the profile in the app, then write it again on every affected tag. Until a tag is rewritten, it keeps the old version.
Choose what you share
Your profile stays on your phone and on the tag; SOSCAN keeps no copy on its servers. Any information written on the tag can be read by a person holding it. A lost tag cannot be deactivated remotely.
