MYQER has been ranked number five in TechRound’s HealthTech44 2026, placing the platform among the top five companies recognised in this year’s international health technology ranking.
For founder Anita Boros, it was one of those moments that required reading the page more than once.
There it was.
5. MYQER™
Not simply included somewhere in a list of 44.
Number five.
TechRound’s HealthTech44 celebrates startups, scale ups and SMEs working across health and medical technology, bringing together companies tackling challenges across digital health, diagnostics, medical technology, patient support and healthcare infrastructure.
For MYQER, reaching the top five felt difficult to process.
The platform had not been built by a large health technology company or a heavily funded product team.
It began with one mum.
One little girl.
And one frightening emergency.
When Anita’s daughter Gia experienced a severe allergic reaction at two years old, the immediate emergency eventually passed.
The question that followed did not.
What happens if it happens again when I am not there?
What happens if the person trying to help does not know about the allergy, the medication, the reaction or who to contact?
That problem became MYQER, My Quick Emergency Response, pronounced “my care”.
MYQER is an Emergency Information Access platform designed to make important information easier to reach when somebody may not be able to explain it themselves.
A person can create an Emergency Access Profile containing information they choose to make available in an emergency, including allergies and reactions, medications, conditions, emergency contacts, communication needs, care preferences and other important information.
The platform supports both Online Emergency Access and Offline Emergency Access, with no MYQER account or app required by the person trying to help.
MYQER is not a medical device, diagnostic platform or replacement for healthcare records.
Its purpose is simpler.
Help close the gap between important information existing and somebody actually being able to access it when it matters.
Recognition from the HealthTech44 head judge
The ranking became even more meaningful when Dr Stuart Grant of Archetype Medtech, Head Judge for HealthTech44 2026, shared his feedback on MYQER.
“What a wonderful idea. I love how elegantly the offline and online QR code solves a genuinely serious problem, giving emergency responders instant access to critical health information the moment someone can’t communicate for themselves. It’s a clear, simple solution to one of life’s more frightening challenges, and it performs this unmet clinical need supremely well.
I particularly like the layered approach: essential information available instantly offline, paired with more detailed data online. That combination of speed and depth is exactly right for an emergency setting.
It would be great to see this become a universally recognised solution, carried and understood everywhere.
One small suggestion: including a photograph alongside the card details could help responders positively identify an unconscious person.
I also noticed you’re offering this free; I’d be interested to understand how the business sustains itself financially over the longer term.”
For Anita, those comments landed differently from simply seeing a ranking.
The online and offline model Dr Grant highlighted was not accidental.
MYQER was deliberately designed so that the most useful information does not depend entirely on connectivity.
Offline Emergency Access provides a frozen emergency snapshot that can remain available without signal.
Online Emergency Access resolves to the person’s latest profile information when connectivity is available.
The intention is to combine speed with depth, rather than forcing one method to do everything.
To have that architecture specifically recognised by the head judge was significant.
So was his statement that he would like to see MYQER become “a universally recognised solution, carried and understood everywhere.”
For something that began as one mother trying to solve a problem for her daughter, those words represented a very different scale of possibility.
Useful questions, not just praise
The feedback also raised two practical questions.
The first was whether including a photograph could help somebody positively identify an unconscious person.
That was a suggestion from the judging process, rather than a feature MYQER currently promises, and it is the kind of product question that needs to be considered carefully against privacy, usability and the purpose of an Emergency Access Profile.
The second concerned sustainability.
MYQER is free for individuals.
That is a deliberate part of the platform’s model. Access to personal emergency information should not depend on whether somebody can afford to purchase a card or subscription.
The longer term model therefore has to allow individual access to remain free while building sustainable organisation services around the infrastructure.
For Anita, that question was not uncomfortable.
It was exactly the kind of question a platform with ambitions to exist for the long term should be asked.
From one family to the HealthTech44 top five
By July 2026, MYQER had already received recognition through the Big Issue Changemakers, NatWest SE100 Ones to Watch, the inaugural Pioneers100 and the North West StartUp For Good Award.
But HealthTech44 represented something different.
This was recognition within a dedicated health technology ranking.
MYQER was being considered alongside organisations working across AI, digital health, clinical technology, diagnostics, medical devices and healthcare infrastructure.
And the founder built platform that began because one mum wanted important information about her daughter to be easier to reach landed at:
Number five.
For Anita, it was validation of something she had believed from the beginning.
Critical information can exist and still be inaccessible when somebody needs it.
That is a real problem.
And simplicity, when it is designed deliberately, can be powerful.
MYQER is still developing.
There are still questions to answer, systems to improve and real world evidence to gather.
But on 30 July 2026, there was also reason to stop for a moment.
A mum.
A little girl.
One frightening pancake.
A platform built from the question that followed.
And now:
5. MYQER™
Then, as always, back to building.
