Our story
DirectiveSafe brings a simple idea into everyday care: keep important medical paperwork close to the person it belongs to.
Matthew first recognized this problem during EMT school, where he learned the importance of having valid DNR paperwork available at the scene. The issue came up again during his Advanced EMT training: knowing that someone has a DNR and being able to review the order are two different circumstances for a responding crew.
As a firefighter, Advanced EMT, and Marine Corps veteran, Matthew developed DirectiveSafe around visibility and proximity. The holder gives official documents a recognizable place, with practical carrying options to help keep them with the person during appointments, outings, and changes in care settings.
For families and care teams, the goal is straightforward: make essential documents easier to keep organized, carry, and locate when they are needed.
Keep the paperwork close. Make its location clear.
