An easy way for family to be reached — nothing to charge, nothing to carry.
A ShieldTag on a cane, walker, or lanyard badge lets a neighbor, a caregiver, or a passerby reach family directly if help is needed. No GPS, no wearable to charge, no app to learn.

Best on a cane, walker, or lanyard badge for a family member who lives independently.
How it works
- 1
Attach the tag
Stick it to a cane, walker, or clip it to a lanyard badge. No charging, no app to set up for them.
- 2
Someone scans it
A neighbor, a caregiver, a passerby — anyone who needs to reach family can scan the tag.
- 3
You get the message
It lands as a text to the family contact on file. Reply through the relay — your number stays private.
What's live today
Anonymous two-way relay — your number is never shown, on either end Photo messages once your tag is on a paid plan Approval-gated contact + masked video calling on Plus
"A neighbor scanned the tag on his walker and called us right away — the kind of call you hope for."

No GPS. No wearable to charge — that’s the point.
ShieldTag can’t see anyone’s location, and neither can anyone else. It only works the moment a real person scans the tag and chooses to send a message.
ShieldTag is not a 911 service and not a substitute for one. If it’s an emergency, call 911 first — reaching a family contact through a tag is best-effort, never guaranteed.
Questions
Does this replace a medical-alert device?
No — ShieldTag isn’t a medical-alert or fall-detection device. It’s a scan-to-message relay: useful alongside a medical-alert system, never instead of one, and never a substitute for 911.
Does it track location?
No. There’s no GPS on the tag — it only relays a message when a real person scans it and chooses to send one.
Is a phone number ever shown?
No. Messages relay in both directions — whoever scans the tag never sees the family contact’s number.
- ShieldTag is not a medical-alert, fall-detection, or GPS tracking device — it is a durable, scannable tag.
