YOUR IMPLANT INFORMATION, READY TO USE
One clear record.
All your implant information.
ImplantPassport is designed to keep your implant details and care-team contacts in a clear digital record you can keep up to date. Information that stays useful beyond one appointment, with the option to share selected details with family or the people caring for you.
Useful as life changes
A new clinic, a change of contact details or updated device settings: keep your record current, rather than relying on information fixed on an old card.
Be ready for care and travel
Have the details ready for airport security, MRI, dental treatment, radiotherapy or emergency care. Help teams identify your implants and start their checks, with less time spent searching for information.
EMERGENCY ACCESS
Information when
you cannot explain.
In an emergency, knowing what implant you have can give the team caring for you a clearer starting point. ImplantPassport is designed to make your chosen implant details and emergency contacts accessible through a QR code.
How access and privacy work ↓You choose the information
A limited emergency summary, separate from your private account.
A tap or scan opens the summary
Someone with your enabled code can open your emergency summary without your phone password. An internet connection is needed.
Your care team has a starting point
Implant identification and care-team contacts help staff begin their checks and find the right people to contact.
FOR THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER
Your implant information,
when it matters most.
You should not have to remember a model number—or find the right hospital department—every time you need care.
Help your MRI team get started.
When an MRI is needed to investigate cancer, a stroke or another serious condition, time spent finding implant details can add to the wait. Have your implant and component information ready for the team's safety assessment.
One less thing to explain when you travel.
Show your implant information at airport security or if you need healthcare away from home. Keep your original implant card and follow your device team’s travel advice.
Give a new hospital a clearer starting point.
Show exactly what is recorded about your implant. Reliable details may reduce the need for an X-ray taken only to help identify an unknown device.
Ready for dental care and cancer treatment.
Share your implant details with your dentist or radiotherapy team before treatment, so they can check whether any precautions are needed and contact your care team.
Preparing for surgery or dental care · Radiotherapy and your implant
Information when you cannot explain.
Choose emergency access so someone with your QR code can open a limited implant summary without your phone password or an account.
Let someone you trust help.
Give a family member or carer a read-only link. They can help you bring the right details to an appointment without needing your account password.

CLINICIAN-LED. PATIENT-FOCUSED.
About us
ImplantPassport was created by Barts Heart Centre, one of the largest cardiovascular centres in Europe, using charitable funding for patients in the United Kingdom. It has been developed with support from professional societies, patients, patient charities and hospitals.
Read about us →Clear about what is checked
You review the details before saving. A clinician-led service does not mean every patient-entered record has been clinically verified.
Clear about who can see it
Your account is private. Sharing is optional, with separate family and emergency views and links you can revoke.
Clear about our role
A practical record for care, not device monitoring or a medical assessment. ImplantPassport is an independent service, not an NHS service.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Clear answers.
No small-print surprises.
How does emergency access work?
When you enable emergency access, your QR code or NFC card opens a limited summary without your phone password or an account. You choose the information to share. The person scanning needs internet access. Emergency access is included in year one, then in the £10 annual service.
What will someone see when they scan my card?
The summary contains the implant details, care-team contacts and emergency contact information you choose to share. It does not open your private account or payment details. Anyone with an enabled link, or a photograph of its QR code, can see that summary.
What makes the passport useful over time?
Your record can be updated as your care changes. Keep your implant information and clinic contacts current, and add documented settings with the annual service. The NFC card links to the record, so routine updates do not require a new card. Online access depends on the service remaining in operation.
What if I lose my phone or NFC card?
Your record is linked to your account. If you lose a phone or card, sign in from another device or contact support for help recovering your account and disabling the lost card’s link. Do not send passwords or complete medical records in a support message.
How is my information protected?
Privacy is part of the design: controlled access to patient records, sharing you choose, and separation of health information from payments. The current card reader uses an encrypted connection and returns an editable draft. See our privacy page for where uploads are processed and how long drafts and reading results are kept.
Can my family or carer help?
You can ask someone you trust to help you enter and check your details. Enable family or carer access separately to share the information you choose without giving them your password. Family access is included in year one, then in the £10 annual service.
Is there an annual fee?
Yes. Your digital passport costs £10 to start, including online access, a phone Wallet pass, a QR code and your first year of additional features. From year two, £10 a year provides emergency and family access, shareable links, and the ability to add device settings and other medical conditions. The optional NFC wallet card is £15 once, including UK delivery.
What if I have lost my original implant card?
Ask the hospital or clinic responsible for your implant to confirm your details. You do not need to buy a passport to request them. You can type confirmed information into the card reader pathway instead of uploading a card.
Does clinician-led mean my record has been clinically verified?
Clinicians have shaped the service around patient care. That does not mean every entered or extracted detail has been checked by a clinician. Check your details against the original source; your treating team still makes clinical decisions, including MRI suitability.
Does this work with Apple Wallet, Google Wallet or the NHS App?
Use your online account to view and update your passport and the Wallet option to add a pass to a compatible phone. A Google sign-in does not itself add a Google Wallet pass. ImplantPassport is separate from the NHS App; use the patient log in button to access your account.
PRIVACY BUILT INTO THE DESIGN
Different information.
Separate systems.
Your implant record
Health details belong in your protected patient record, with controlled access and recorded changes.
Payment through Stripe
The payment system handles the transaction. Implant model numbers, settings and clinical notes are not sent to Stripe.
No health data in advertising
Patient forms and shared records contain no advertising trackers. Clinical details stay out of marketing events.
