About Us

Tap2Assist was founded in Melbourne Australia with the sole purpose of finding new ways of improving people’s lives using the emerging technology of Near Field Communication ('NFC') in collaboration with commonly used technologies like QR Codes.
We are continually developing a web-based portal, designed to make it easy for people to manage all of the assistance devices that we develop. These devices are designed to help the public communicate with each other, allowing access to critical information, which in an emergency may have the potential benefit of saving lives.

Emergency Contacts

A critical part of our system is notifications. When the device is ‘tapped’ by a NFC enabled device, has the QR Code scanned or the printed code is entered into the search page, and the user verifies they would like to see your contact information, We will send out notification messages to your designated contacts to let them know there is an emergency that requires their attention. These notifications can be sent by SMS or e-mail, what type of message we send will be determined by you when you setup your contacts.
