Put it somewhere useful.

A TapCare sticker can live beside a medicine box, on a notice board, or anywhere a simple shortcut would help.

One sticker, many uses

A shortcut to what matters.

The same simple tap can lead to different kinds of support, depending on what a caregiver sets up.

Call

Call the phone number.

WhatsApp

Open the right conversation.

Reminders

Show a simple everyday note.

Useful links

Open trusted information directly.

Reusable stickers

Repurpose the sticker, not the setup.

The physical sticker points to TapCare rather than directly to a phone number, reminder, or external website. Change what happens behind it and the sticker stays right where it is.

New number? New reminder? Same sticker.

For older adults

Tap.
That's basically it.

No TapCare account needed to use a sticker.

No searching through several apps or screens.

The action is done for you within a tap.

For caregivers

Set it up.
Change it anytime.

Choose what each sticker should do.

Preview and connect NFC stickers.

Update the content later without replacing the sticker.

Designed thoughtfully

Simple on the outside.
Managed behind the scenes.

Public stickers use opaque TapCare codes rather than internal identifiers, while caregiver and administrator functions require authenticated accounts.

Privacy by design

TapCare is designed to collect only the information needed to operate and maintain the service.

A support tool, not an emergency service

TapCare is not a medical monitoring or emergency response system. Urgent help should still go through the appropriate emergency or care service.

CCSGP Fellowship Award Project

TapCare explores how simple physical touchpoints can make common digital support actions easier to access.

Ready when they need it

Make everyday support
easier to reach.
