OVERVIEW

How Asper works

Your Asper jewellery has a tiny NFC chip built into it the same technology you use when you tap your phone to pay. When someone holds a phone close to your jewellery, it opens your medical profile in their browser. No app needed on their end.

Before that can happen, you'll need to activate the jewellery and connect it to your profile. It only takes a minute or two.

1

Scan your jewellery

Hold the top of your phone against your jewellery. Because it hasn't been activated yet, it will take you straight to the activation page.

2

Enter your email

On the activation page, type in your email address and tap confirm. We'll send you a confirmation email straight away.

3

Open the email and activate

Open the email from Asper London and tap the activation link. That's it, your jewellery is now connected to your medical profile and ready to go.

SCANNING

How to scan

NFC is built into most modern smartphones, but the reader sits in a slightly different spot depending on your phone. Hold your phone against the jewellery for a second or two — you'll feel a small vibration or see a notification when it's been read.

iPhone 7 and later

Hold the top edge of your iPhone against the jewellery. The NFC reader sits right at the top of the phone, behind the screen.

iPhone XR / XS and later will scan automatically — no need to open anything first
iPhone 7, 8, and X require you to open Control Centre and tap the NFC tag reader icon before scanning
Make sure your phone is unlocked

Tip — If you have a thick phone case, try removing it for your first scan. Most cases work fine, but some very bulky ones can interfere with the signal.

Samsung Galaxy phones

The NFC reader on Samsung phones is usually located in the center of the back panel.

Make sure NFC is toggled ON in Quick Settings / Settings > Connections
Hold the middle of the back of your phone against the jewellery
Make sure your phone is unlocked

Tip — If scanning doesn't trigger, move the phone slightly up or down to align the central NFC antenna.

Google Pixel phones

Google Pixel phones typically have their NFC module near the upper-middle rear area below the camera bar.

Ensure NFC is enabled in Settings > Connected devices
Hold the back of your Pixel near the top/center against the jewellery
Screen must be unlocked

Tip — Thick cases or magnetic attachments on the back can reduce NFC sensitivity.

Other Android smartphones

Most modern Android smartphones have NFC built-in. Check your phone settings to ensure NFC is turned on.

Search for "NFC" in your phone's Settings menu and switch it on
Slowly move the back of your phone over the jewellery to locate the antenna
Ensure your screen is awake and unlocked

Tip — Consult your phone manufacturer's guide if you are unsure of your phone's NFC reader position.

COMPLETION

Finalise your profile

At this stage, you're almost ready to go. All that's left is to:

Build your profile
Add your medication, conditions, and allergies etc
Emergency contacts
Set your privacy levels so you're deciding who can see what

That's it. You're ready to carry on with your day.

1

Build your profile

Log in to the Asper app and add your medical information — conditions, allergies, medications, emergency contacts, and anything else you'd like first responders or medical professionals to see. You choose exactly what's visible and to whom.

2

Enter your email

Not everything needs to be visible to everyone. You can set different access tiers — public information that anyone can see when they scan, semi-private details for those with a link, and private records that only you control.

3

Open the email and activate

That's all there is to it. Your jewellery works passively — there's nothing to charge, no app to keep open, and nothing to press in an emergency. If someone needs your medical information, they just hold their phone to your jewellery.

Open the email from Asper London and tap the activation link. That's it — your jewellery is now connected to your medical profile and ready to go.

FAQs

Answered for your conveniece

How does the jewellery work in an emergency?

The jewellery contains a scannable chip or QR code that provides authorised users—such as medical professionals and first responders—with immediate access to critical medical information and emergency instructions tailored to the wearer’s condition.

Is my medical data secure?

Yes. Your data is encrypted and stored on secure servers that comply with the highest industry standards for privacy and protection. Only you, and authorised medical professionals when you choose to share it, can access your information. We will never sell or misuse your data.

Can the app integrate with my existing medical records?

At launch, Asper London allows you to manually input key details, ensuring your profile is always up to date. You can also upload your medical letters or documents directly from the facilities you visit—these are safely stored in your personal directory within the app, so everything is organised and accessible in one place. We are working towards integration with major healthcare systems so you can seamlessly connect your existing medical records in the future.

What happens if I lose my jewellery?

Your medical profile is linked to your secure Asper London account, not just the jewellery itself. If your piece is lost, your data remains safe. You can simply pair your new jewellery with the app, and your profile will be instantly reconnected.

Does the app use AI and how reliable are its suggestions?

Yes. Asper London uses AI to provide guidance tailored to your condition, such as offering practical steps in an emergency or helping you track your wellbeing. While the AI is highly advanced and trained on trusted medical sources, it is designed to support - not replace - professional medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider for diagnosis or treatment decisions.

How much is Asper jewellery?

The app utilises AI to assess symptoms and provide treatment recommendations, but these are supplementary to professional medical advice. All AI-driven suggestions are backed by a comprehensive database of medical conditions and responses, reviewed by experts.
