In today’s episode, I sit down with JaniceThorn, the founder of Personal QR (PQR) to discuss how a simple wearable QRcode can provide immediate access to critical medical information and emergencycontacts during moments of crisis. What began as a personal concern about achild leaving for college evolved into a broader mission focused onpreparedness, accessibility, and reducing uncertainty when emergencies happenunexpectedly.Throughout our conversation, we explore thelimitations of relying solely on smartphones, the real-life consequences ofmissing identification, and how small proactive measures can prevent majorcomplications. We also discuss privacy concerns, real-time updates,affordability, and why emergency identification is relevant not just forseniors, but for children, travelers, athletes, and independent adults.
