Built by a dad
A personal reason.
A simple idea.
Justin created Scan Me Home for his son, Jaxon, who is nonverbal.
The question was personal: if someone found Jaxon, how would they know who he was, how to help him, and how to reach his family?
Scan Me Home grew from that need for a simple connection between a person who needs help, a person willing to help, and the people who know them best.

A lot less guesswork.

Read our privacy policyYour questions, answered.
Does the person who finds my loved one need an app?
No. A smartphone camera opens the QR code in a web browser. The helper can read the profile and tap the call button without downloading an app or creating an account.
What happens when someone scans the code?
The linked safety profile opens with the details you added, practical instructions and caregiver contact information. The call button opens the phone’s dialer.
Is Scan Me Home a GPS tracker?
No. It is a way for someone who finds your loved one to understand how to help and contact you. Available scan locations depend on the helper allowing location access; Scan Me Home does not continuously track someone.
What if someone finds them before I know they’re missing?
Their QR code gives the helper a next step right away: open the profile, understand the situation and call a parent or caretaker.
How is this different from a medical ID?
Medical IDs can share important medical information. Scan Me Home also makes room for communication needs, helpful instructions and a direct way to call a caregiver. It can work alongside a medical ID.
Can I update the profile later?
Yes. Edit the details in your account as needs or contact information change. The connected QR code continues to open the updated profile.
Does my loved one need to carry a phone?
No. The QR code is on a patch or another connected item. The person helping uses their own phone.
Who can see the information I add?
Anyone who scans the code can see the public safety profile. Add only information you want a helper to see, and review it before sharing your QR code.
What is included, and how does shipping work?
The monthly Protection Plan includes a welcome pack of 5 iron-on patches and a one-time $4.99 shipping charge. Annual includes 10 patches and one-time $9.99 shipping. We currently ship within the USA. Patches are included at signup, not with every renewal.
How do renewals and cancellation work?
Monthly renews at $9.99 per month; annual renews at $99 per year. Shipping is charged only at signup. You can manage payment details and cancel future renewals through your billing account.
