Asthma affects over 5.4 million people in the UK, including more than 1 million children. While it’s a manageable condition, asthma can turn serious in seconds — especially when attacks happen unexpectedly, away from home, or without access to vital medical information.
That’s why quick access to accurate health details and emergency plans can make all the difference. MyMedicalSupport helps people living with asthma — and their families, schools, and carers — stay safer and more confident by ensuring life-saving information is available instantly whenever it’s needed.
The Reality of Living With Asthma
For many people, asthma is part of daily life. Inhalers, triggers, and medications become routine, but asthma can be unpredictable. Even mild cases can become serious if an attack escalates quickly.
During an asthma attack, the airways narrow and swell, making it difficult to breathe. Panic often sets in, and communicating key details — like medication type, triggers, or emergency instructions — can be nearly impossible.
When this happens, first responders or bystanders need clear, accurate, and immediate information to act fast. That’s where MyMedicalSupport becomes a vital safety tool.
How MyMedicalSupport Works
MyMedicalSupport provides every user with a secure digital medical profile linked to a QR code or NFC-enabled bracelet, necklace, or card.
When scanned, this profile instantly displays key medical details such as:
-
Diagnosis (e.g., asthma severity and type)
-
Current medications and inhalers
-
Allergies and triggers (like pollen, dust, smoke, or exercise)
-
Step-by-step emergency instructions
-
GP and consultant details
-
Emergency contact numbers
If the medical ID is accessed in an emergency, MyMedicalSupport automatically sends an SMS alert — including the person’s live location — to their chosen emergency contacts. This means parents, carers, or loved ones are notified immediately, even if they’re not present.
Why Quick Access Matters for Asthma
An asthma attack can escalate in minutes. Immediate access to medical details can:
-
Speed up response times – Paramedics can see what medications you take and what’s been used already.
-
Prevent dangerous mistakes – Clinicians know your triggers, avoiding treatments that may make symptoms worse.
-
Guide bystanders – Even if you’re unable to speak, others can see exactly what to do.
-
Inform family and carers – Loved ones receive instant alerts when help is needed.
Asthma doesn’t just affect the person with the condition — it impacts everyone who cares for them. MyMedicalSupport bridges the gap between home, school, and medical professionals, ensuring consistent, accurate information is always available.

Real-Life Example
A 9-year-old boy with asthma has an attack during a school sports day. The teacher panics but remembers the child’s medical ID on his lanyard. They scan the QR code and instantly see:
-
“Severe Asthma — Blue inhaler (Salbutamol) first, 10 puffs.”
-
“If not improving, call 999 immediately.”
-
Parent’s contact details.
The teacher follows the steps, calls for help, and the parents receive a live SMS alert letting them know what’s happening.
