Emergency Contact NFC Keychains: Interview with Dawna Duke
About this episode
The episode features an interview with Dawna Duke discussing her NFC keychains designed to share emergency contact information.
The Dementia By Day Team interviewed Dawna Duke about the keychains she's creating, which are programmed to share emergency contact information with the tap of your phone. As easily as you set up and use the "tap to pay" function on your smart phone, you can program Near-Field Communication (NFC) chips with important information like an emergency contact phone number. Dawna has taken this practical tool a step further and created keychains programmed with this information (mostly for children) to sell on Etsy as part of her business, STEMScapeCollab. Although Dawna, who has a PhD in Education Policy, originally developed these for children like her own daughter, she sees limitless potential for NFC chips, and the Dementia By Day Team shared how this tool could impact the lives of people living with dementia and their caregivers.
