1
Carry your LymphAware card
Your card shows that you are living with lymphoedema and includes your photograph, LymphAware ID and QR code.
How LymphAware Works
A simple card and a patient-controlled digital profile.
LymphAware is designed to make important information easier to communicate without requiring the person carrying the card to explain everything themselves.
Three simple steps
The physical card and QR-linked profile work together to provide a straightforward communication aid.
2
Someone scans the QR code
Scanning the QR code opens your LymphAware profile on their phone. No account or sign-in is required to view the profile.
3
They see what you choose to share
Your profile shows only the information you choose to share. You can review or change your choices through your LymphAware account.
The physical card
The LymphAware card is designed to provide useful information even before the QR code is scanned.
It identifies the holder as someone living with lymphoedema and provides a clear route to the patient-selected digital profile.
The finished card is designed to remain clear and readable at standard credit-card size.
Information at a glance
The card can include the patient photograph, LymphAware ID, QR code and concise information intended to support recognition and understanding.
More detailed information remains within the QR-linked profile rather than overcrowding the physical card.
The QR-linked profile
The QR code opens a mobile-first LymphAware profile containing information the patient has chosen to make available.
The profile is designed to be easy to understand quickly on a mobile phone.
You stay in control
The patient decides which relevant information appears on their LymphAware profile.
They can preview what another person will see and manage their information through the secure patient portal.
Patients can review their profile and choose which information they want to make available through LymphAware.
Designed for real-life situations
LymphAware is intended as an additional communication aid in situations where explaining lymphoedema may be difficult, uncomfortable or time-consuming.
Healthcare
Helping make patient-selected information available when appropriate, alongside normal professional assessment.
Emergencies
Providing another way for a person to communicate relevant information when explaining everything themselves may be difficult.
Everyday situations
Supporting understanding in travel, workplaces, businesses and other situations where assistance or consideration may help.
Your information. Your choice. Your control.
LymphAware is being designed around patient control, accessibility and data minimisation. The QR-linked profile displays only information the patient has chosen to make available.
