Conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder can impact communication, decision-making, and the ability to manage emergencies. MyQRMed provides a smart and practical solution that helps individuals, caregivers, and healthcare providers access essential information quickly, ensuring safety and support when it matters most.

How MyQRMed Benefits People with Psychosocial Disabilities


1. Quick Access to Emergency Information

During moments of crisis, individuals with psychosocial disabilities may find it difficult to communicate their needs, medical history, or preferred coping strategies. MyQRMed’s QR-enabled medical ID allows first responders, healthcare professionals, and support workers to instantly access:


  • Diagnosis and mental health history (if the user chooses to include it)

  • Medications and treatment plans

  • Emergency contacts and support persons

  • Personalised crisis management instructions

  • Coping strategies and de-escalation techniques recommended by healthcare providers

This ensures that the right support is provided in a way that respects the individual’s needs.


2. Reducing Stress in Medical and Emergency Situations


Many people with psychosocial disabilities experience anxiety in medical or emergency situations. MyQRMed allows them to store important medical and personal information in one place, eliminating the need to repeatedly explain their condition. First responders can instantly access vital details, ensuring they provide care in a calm, informed, and supportive manner.


3. Promoting Independence and Self-Advocacy


MyQRMed empowers individuals to live more independently, knowing that their essential information is readily available if needed. This can be particularly beneficial for those who:

  • Experience difficulty remembering details about their condition or medications

  • Struggle to explain their needs in stressful situations

  • Want to ensure that support workers, carers, or new healthcare providers have up-to-date information


4. Peace of Mind for Families and Caregivers


Families and caregivers of individuals with psychosocial disabilities often worry about how their loved ones will manage in a crisis. MyQRMed provides peace of mind by ensuring that accurate medical information and emergency contacts are accessible at all times, helping to prevent miscommunication and ensuring proper care is provided when needed.


Claiming MyQRMed Through NDIS


People with psychosocial disabilities who are participants in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) may be able to claim MyQRMed under assistive technology, daily living supports, or personal safety items - provided it is a reasonable and necessary support.
