Abstract - This paper explores the design and implementation of a QR-Code Enabled Identification and Recovery System (QEIRS) to address challenges in locating missing individuals, particularly vulnerable groups like children and the elderly. Traditionally, methods used to identify missing persons are slow and resource-intensive, which is contrasted by the use of QEIRS that relies on QR codes attached to wearable items linked to secure databases for real-time identification and recovery. The system focuses on fast reaction, cost-effectiveness, scalability, and privacy data. Through digital technology combined with friendlier interfaces with real-time communication channels, QEIRS presents a new way of enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the recovery efforts for missing people.
contacts, special medical needs, and identity verificationwith maximum data security protocols protecting privacy [3][5]. Built to operate in a variety of settings-throngs at an event, hospitals, or transit hubs-QEIRS is designed for diversity and flexibility as a feasible, cost-effective, and privacy-focused approach to building public safety infrastructure [6][8]. By enabling rapid response and efficient support, QEIRS not only aids lost individuals but also reduces the emotional toll on their families and caregivers, representing a vital step forward in modern identification and recovery methods [7][8][10] maintaining stringent data security protocols to protect individual privacy. Designed to thrive in places of extreme crowding, such as events, hospitals, and transit terminals, QEIRS is scalable, cost-effective, and privacyaware, with a focus on amplifying public safety infrastructure. Through its enabling features for quick response and support, it helps the lost but also lightens the emotional burden on their families and caregivers, representing the next step forward in modern identification and recovery. In this high demand, this study presents the QR-Code Enabled Identification and Recovery System (QEIRS), a secure, technology-based solution utilizing the accessibility and simplicity of QR codes to immediately identify and obtain help [1][2]. In QEIRS, encrypted QR codes are implemented in wearable articles for instance, wristbands, lanyards, or badges that authorized personnel, such as security guards, medical teams, or police officials, can scan easily [3][4]. When scanned, these barcodes give immediate access to all of one's critical, pre-approved information such as contact people in emergency situations, special medical needs, and identification verification, but all while maintaining strict data security to safeguard individual privacy [5]. An adaptable solution for use in crowded events, hospitals, or transit terminals, QEIRS is a scalable, costeffective, and privacy-conscious approach that strengthens public safety infrastructure [6][7]. By providing immediate response and effective assistance, QEIRS not only helps lost persons but also mitigates the emotional distress of their families and caregivers, marking an important advancement in contemporary identification and recovery techniques [7][8].

1. INTRODUCTION In today's dense, complex public environment, people getting lost is increasingly common, and this poses especially significant problems to the most vulnerable groups, such as toddlers, elderly people, or those suffering cognitive disabilities or developmental disorders. Traditional location and identification methods, such as oral inquiries or physical ID cards, are inadequate in times of rapid localization and identification of a lost individual, particularly in cases of high-stress situations where every second counts [6][8][9]. Based on this urgent need, this research introduces a secure, technology-based system, the QR-Code Enabled Identification and Recovery System (QEIRS), to facilitate quick identification and rescue through QR code availability and simplicity [1][2][3]. The encrypted QR codes on wearable items such as a wristband, lanyard, or badge will provide easy scanning from legitimate individuals in the form of security, medical teams, or law enforcement officers [4][6]. Scanned into these codes, access is instantly gained to critical, pre-approved information-about emergency
