Twiceme app features

Medical ID

What is the Medical ID feature?

The Medical ID allows users to store personal emergency information directly on their equipment, such as allergies, chronic illnesses, injuries, and emergency contacts, ensuring quick access during emergencies.

Where is the Medical ID stored?

The Medical ID is stored offline in the Twiceme app and locally on the equipment itself. This ensures data security of this sensitive information.

Who can access my medical ID?

Anyone with an NFC-enabled smartphone. Hence, only upload the information you feel comfortable sharing.

Can I access the medical ID on Twiceme without the app?

Yes, profiles uploaded using the Twiceme app version 5.0 or later can be accessed without the app by utilizing the background scan feature on an NFC-enabled smartphone.

To provide a seamless user experience when accessing information without the Twiceme app, the smartphone displays the accessed information on the readtwiceme.com website. It’s important to note that none of the presented information is uploaded to the web. Only the HTML code is downloaded from the web purely for presentation purposes.

If you have any further inquiries about this process, please feel free to contact us. We will be more than happy to provide a more detailed explanation.

How do I connect my workers' equipment and work documents to the SMP?

Yes, to access certain features in the Twiceme app—such as maps, alerting functionalities, or the work documents feature—you need to create an account. When creating an account, and with your consent, we collect and store basic personal information such as your name, email address, and phone number.
