Record Your Wishes for Life’s Final Stage

End-of-Life Planning helps you document how you wish to be cared for during the later stages of life. This includes comfort measures, medical treatment preferences, cultural or spiritual considerations and values that matter most to you.

Recording these wishes in advance provides clarity for loved ones and helps ensure decisions are made in line with your preferences rather than assumptions or guesswork.

Advance Care Directive with QR Emergency Access

Your end-of-life wishes are formally captured through your Advance Care Directive, which can be stored in your Evaheld Vault and linked to a QR Emergency Access Card.

You may upload a statutory directive for your jurisdiction or complete the Evaheld Advance Care Directive, ensuring your instructions are available to clinicians and can be updated as circumstances change.

Secure Your Health and Care Wishes in your Vault

🩺 Secure your End-of-Life wishes in your Evaheld Vault
Record medical wishes, care preferences and decision-making details in one secure place, so your voice continues to guide your care when it matters most.
