Emergency child information

A child’s critical information, the moment it matters.

Vinenux gives schools, hospitals and carers the allergies, conditions and contacts they need in an emergency — released only when the child’s guardian approves the request.

Get started See how it works

Guardian-approved access. Every lookup logged.

Animated example with sample data. Ridge Hospital enters Ama Boateng’s Vinenux code. Ama’s guardian gets the request on their phone and approves it. The hospital then sees Ama’s life-threatening peanut allergy, her asthma and her mother’s number, with access set to expire after 12 hours.

The platform

One record, two apps — for families and the people they trust

Guardians keep their child’s whole story in the Vinenux mobile app. Schools, hospitals, clinics and carers use the web portal to ask for what they need, and see it only once the guardian says yes.

One platform

Information that travels with the child, not the paperwork

Emergency details live with the guardian and are shared deliberately — never copied into a folder that goes out of date the week after it is filled in.

  • One code per child

    A guardian records their child’s information once. Vinenux issues a single code that works anywhere care happens.

  • Approval before access

    Nothing is released on the code alone. The guardian sees who is asking and decides, in the moment, whether to release it.

  • Ordered for a responder

    Life-threatening allergies first, then conditions, medications and who to call. Read at a glance, under pressure.

  • Access that expires

    Approvals are time-limited and revocable. Guardians can see every lookup and end access at any point.

How it works

Six steps, and the guardian holds the key at every one

Vinenux is built around consent rather than possession of a code. Here is the whole path, start to finish.

  1. Step 1: Guardian sets up the profile

    In the Vinenux app a guardian records allergies, conditions, medications, special needs and emergency contacts — and keeps them current.

    For example: Ama’s guardian adds a life-threatening peanut allergy.

  2. Step 2: Vinenux issues a code

    Each child gets one durable code, shareable as text or a QR label for a bag, lunchbox or enrolment form.

    For example: VX-7K4PQ-92QMX

  3. Step 3: An organisation asks

    A signed-in school, hospital or carer enters the code. Accounts are required, so a guardian always knows who is on the other end.

    For example: Ridge Hospital requests access.

  4. Step 4: The guardian decides

    A request lands on the guardian’s phone naming the organisation and what it is asking for. They approve or decline.

    For example: Approved — allergies, conditions, contacts.

  5. Step 5: Care gets what it needs

    The approved information appears immediately, ordered by clinical urgency, with one-tap calling for emergency contacts.

    For example: Peanuts — life-threatening, shown first.

  6. Step 6: And the guardian stays in control

    Every lookup is recorded. Approvals expire on their own, and a guardian can revoke access at any moment.

    For example: Access ends automatically.

Organisations

From one classroom to a whole district

The organisation portal is built for institutions with hundreds of children and dozens of staff — not a spreadsheet with a login.

  • Search across your roll

    Find a child by name in a list of hundreds, paginated so the interface stays fast however many you connect.

  • Staff, roles and permissions

    Invite teachers, nurses and administrators. Each role starts from a sensible permission set you can adjust before sending.

  • Records that stay with the child

    Academic, attendance, behaviour, incident and health entries, filtered by category and attributed to your organisation.

  • A visible access trail

    Every request, approval, revocation and staff change is recorded and reviewable from the Activity tab.

Security & privacy

Designed so the guardian never loses control of the record

Children’s medical information deserves more than a password and a promise. These are the specific controls Vinenux enforces — no more, and no marketing around them.

  • Consent, not possession

    Holding a code is not enough. Every request is approved by the guardian before any information is returned.

  • Recorded and revocable

    Access is written to an audit trail the guardian can review, and can be withdrawn at any time.

  • No anonymous lookups

    Requesters must hold an account, so the guardian is always shown a named organisation rather than an unknown device.

  • Time-limited by default

    Requests expire if they are not answered, and approvals expire on their own rather than lasting indefinitely.

  • Least information, by design

    The emergency response is assembled server-side from a fixed set of fields — the browser is never sent the full child record.

  • Managed infrastructure

    Authentication, data and server logic run on Google Firebase, with access rules enforced server-side rather than in the browser.

    • Authentication
    • Data
    • Server logic
    • Rules enforced server-side

Why it matters

The information gap is the emergency

When a child cannot speak for themselves, the difference between safe treatment and a dangerous guess is whether anyone in the room knows their history.

  • Minutes

    The window in which an anaphylactic reaction must be recognised and treated.

  • One code

    Replaces the emergency form that was filled in at enrolment and never updated.

  • Every lookup

    Recorded against a named organisation and visible to the guardian who approved it.

A guardian should never have to choose between sharing everything about their child and sharing nothing at all.
