Free emergency information card: allergies, medicines, who to ring. Takes twenty minutes once. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
Keep it to what can be read in two minutes. A card that takes longer is a card nobody reads. Print two — one for a wallet, one where the person lives, because the ambulance arrives at the house.
Nothing you type here is sent anywhere. It is kept on this device only, so you can come back to it, and “Clear everything” removes it.
Made with the free tools at umuchi.comIf somebody is taken to hospital and the person who knows their history is not with them, the people treating them start from almost nothing. Allergies, current medicines, the conditions that matter, and who to ring are all real, written-down facts — they are simply held in one head, and that head is at work. This is the most lopsided risk in family care: the cost of writing it down is twenty minutes once, and the cost of not having it is borne at the exact moment nobody can do anything about it.
Name and date of birth. Allergies, and what the reaction was — "penicillin" alone is less useful than "penicillin, rash and swelling". Current medicines with doses.
The two or three conditions that change how somebody should be treated. Who to contact, their relationship, and a number that is answered. Where fuller records are kept.
That is it. Resist the urge to put a medical history on a card: a card that takes two minutes to read is a card nobody reads. Keep it in a wallet or a phone case rather than a drawer, and put a copy where the person lives — the ambulance arrives at the house, not at your office.
Whatever you type here stays on this device. It is not sent to Umuchi, it is not stored on a server, and closing the tab discards it. That is a deliberate design choice rather than a promise about how carefully we would have handled it: health information that never leaves the browser cannot be lost by anybody, including us.
If you want to keep what you have written, print it or save the file — and if you would rather have it kept, backed up and shared with the people you choose, that is what an Umuchi account is for.
This page helps you organise information and arrive at an appointment prepared. It does not diagnose anything, it does not tell you what treatment you need, and it is not a substitute for a conversation with a clinician who knows you. If something is wrong, the right next step is a person with a licence, not a checklist.
In an emergency call your local emergency number — 911 in the US, 999 in the UK, 112 across the EU.
The version of this you fill in today is useful once. The version that is still there at the next appointment, already up to date, with your sister able to see it too, is useful every time. That is the difference an Umuchi account makes: the same information, kept, shared with the people you choose, and on your phone when somebody asks for it.
