MIPACE can support many different people in many different places. The idea stays simple: the right person can tap a device and reach the information its owner has chosen to share.
Search for a situation or choose a category below. These are examples, not promises that a device will prevent an incident or replace normal safety arrangements.

Allergies at a party or club
A parent can make a short allergy warning and emergency contact easy to reach if support is needed.
Shared care between family members
Grandparents or relatives can use the same current child profile without keeping separate handwritten copies.
Unable to explain an important condition

Travelling with a support need
The profile can explain a communication or assistance preference without the traveller repeating it at every stage.
Going out alone with more confidence
A person can carry a simple route to the contacts and information they have decided may help.
A bag, keys or daily equipment
Different device formats let the person choose an access point that fits naturally into everyday life.
One profile in several places
Several active devices can open the same current profile, so information only needs to be updated once.
A device goes missing
Reporting that device lost stops it opening the profile without switching off the person’s other devices.
Emergency contacts change
Update the profile once and every connected active device opens the new contact information.
Supporting several people from one account
A parent or carer can keep separate profiles for family members and assign the right devices to each person.
Keeping private details private
The profile owner chooses what is public. Information not selected for the public profile is not shown by a tap.

Start with the person
Think about where they go, who may need to help and which small amount of information would be genuinely useful. Then choose the device and placement that best fits that situation.
