A story from Golden Chart Health
Imagine your phone rings at 2 p.m.
It's a paramedic. Your mom has been in a car accident. She's on her way to the hospital, and she's too shaken to answer their questions.
They found your number on her phone's lock screen, on her free emergency card. They didn't need her passcode.
Then they scanned the QR code on that card. It showed the details she chose to share: her medicines, her allergies, her doctor, and who she is.
Her card also said where her signed medical directive is kept. They found it in her purse, so her wishes went with her to the hospital.
Even if they hadn't found it, they could have opened a copy of her signed directive from her QR code.
You're on your way, and the people caring for her already know what matters.

This is an imagined story, not about anyone in particular. But many of us know a version of it.
We all have different experiences
Maybe for you it's Dad's blood pressure, or a parent who lives three states away. Maybe it's your own health that keeps landing at the bottom of the list. Every family's middle looks different.
Why we built Golden Chart Health
We're Heather and Brett. Like so many people in their 40s, 50s and 60s, we're in the middle: helping our parents, caring for our family, and trying to keep up with our own health.
Based on our own life, we kept coming back to one question: if something happened and someone couldn't speak for themselves, would the right information be found in time?
Golden Chart Health is our answer.
