Document Your Health and Care Wishes With Clarity and Confidence

Health & Care helps you clearly document your medical wishes, treatment preferences and care decisions in one secure place. This section supports you in recording what matters most — including your health priorities, comfort preferences, cultural or spiritual considerations, and who you trust to make decisions if you are unable to do so.

By capturing this information in advance, you reduce uncertainty during illness or emergencies and make it easier for others to act in line with your wishes. Everything is stored securely in your Evaheld Vault, giving you confidence that your preferences are recorded, accessible and up to date.

Advance Care Directive with QR Emergency Access

Your health preferences are formally recorded through your Advance Care Directive, which can be securely stored in your Evaheld Vault and linked to a QR Emergency Access Card. This allows authorised healthcare professionals to quickly access your directive when urgent decisions are required.

You can upload the statutory Advance Care Directive for your jurisdiction or complete the Evaheld Advance Care Directive, which brings together medical, legal and personal preferences in one guided document. Your directive can be updated at any time as your circumstances or wishes change.

Secure Your Voice & Wishes in Your Vault

🩺 Secure your Health & Care wishes inside your Evaheld Vault
Record medical wishes, care preferences and decision-making details in one secure place, so your voice continues to guide your care now and in the future.

Plan Ahead So Your Healthcare Decisions Are Respected

Advance Care Planning helps you formally document your healthcare wishes so future medical decisions reflect your values. This includes treatment preferences, life-sustaining care choices and appointing a substitute decision-maker to act on your behalf if required.

Planning ahead reduces stress for loved ones and ensures clinicians have clear guidance when decisions need to be made quickly or under pressure.

You may upload your jurisdiction’s statutory directive or complete the Evaheld Advance Care Directive, which consolidates medical, legal and personal preferences into a single, editable document that evolves with your needs.
