Some diseases such as hypertension or heart disease can cause a person to faint or become unresponsive. A situation like this requires immediate medical attention and any delay can affect the treatment and rehabilitation of the patient. However, the first responders often lack the necessary information to optimally treat a patient.

Medcode is a quick, affordable and easy way to provide this information to the medical staff. Persons with known health problems can simply put the medcode-dimension code somewhere on their clothes and it can then be accessed by the medical personnel with the MEDSCAN devices or APP. It contains information such as contraindication drugs, emergency contact, and known health problems.
