Similar to how people with medical conditions might wear identification dog tags or wristbands in the event of an emergency, this design your own clothing line comes with [wearable QR codes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qr-styler) for people with special needs. From non-profit organization If I Need Help, the scannable ID patches alert the public that the wearer might need help if they can't communicate.

Caregivers can create an account, inputting important information like name, address, medical condition and contact details. In addition to [ID tags and patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-safety-bracelet), you can also design your own clothing such a t-shirts and sweatshirts. The information you would get access to if you scanned the QR code can also be changed at any time, so you don't have to rely on sticky labels.
