Really nice idea!

You could touoch your phone on a “Taxi” sign to have it call an authorised taxi and send your ID so the taxi only collects you.

It seems needlessly complicated to use this for the elderly & children. They already have phones with big huge speed-dial buttons, some come with simple icons, some have room to put small pictures on them (of loved ones, etc). All they have to do is lift the receiver & punch the button.

Following on the idea of touching a phone to a picture, consider the elderly person who might find phonebooks confusing and might not remember phone numbers. Have 5 pictures of family members on a desk and when they want to call their son (daughter, brother, etc…) they just touch the picture with the phone.

I like Automatic’s idea above. From an end-user perspective, even if it’s not an emergency, it’d be good to be able to touch your phone to a photo of someone, and have it phone them.

or for kids and the elderly… somewhere in the house, you could have a picture of the family and teach the child or elder to just place phone by picture if its an emergency… either way excellent work!

How about putting the tags under a glass plate on top of the desk even with the notes on them?
