What Is Silent Shield™ and How Does It Work?

Silent Shield™ is a customizable NFC (Near Field Communication) safety tag designed to give caregivers, parents, and individuals peace of mind in moments when communication is difficult or impossible.

Why Silent Shield™ Exists

Silent Shield was created by a parent of a nonverbal autistic child who needed a way to quickly communicate critical information in emergencies. Whether it’s medical info, emergency contacts, or condition-specific alerts, Silent Shield ensures help is just a tap away.

How It Works

Silent Shield uses passive NFC technology, the same kind used in contactless payments. When a smartphone is held near the tag:

  • A pre-programmed link instantly opens

  • It can show emergency contacts, medical details, instructions, or any other info you choose

  • It requires no app and no battery

Setup takes under 2 minutes and works with most iPhones (7 and newer) and Android phones with NFC enabled.

Who It's For

Silent Shield is used by:

  • Children and adults with autism or nonverbal conditions

  • Individuals with diabetes, epilepsy, dementia, or severe allergies

  • Parents, teachers, caregivers, school nurses, and support staff

Why It’s Better Than Traditional ID Tags

Unlike traditional engraved tags, Silent Shield is:

  • Customizable: Update the info anytime

  • Private: No visible medical info unless tapped

  • Modern: Uses tap-to-view NFC technology

Real Peace of Mind

In a world where seconds matter, Silent Shield helps communicate when you can’t. Whether you’re at school, the park, or a public place, your loved one’s critical info is instantly available to those who need it.
