MedicTag™
USB Medical Alert
Does your medic ID jewelry or medical alert bracelet have
enough information to save your life.
MedicTag is a digital USB personal medical alert and
medic ID
that combines your emergency information with today's technology. A
digital memory chip is used to store all your information on the easy to
use MedicTag medical history and alert form and the distinctive styling
and bright logo will alert medic personnel to your special needs and
existing medical conditions.
MedicTag is intended to foster and improve patient care, reduce medical
errors and can help assure that at least a minimum health record is
available when a patient is seen by a first responder or other provider.
If you are one of the millions of
Americans that have chronic conditions that may be life threatening,
diabetes (over 13 million), diagnosed heart disease (23 million),
Alzheimers, transplant surgery, those currently on blood thinners such
as Warfarin or Coumadin, epilepsy, asthma, severe allergies, cancer
patients and medication allergies such as penicillin and other
antibiotics then you need to have a MedicTag USB medical alert and medic
ID.
Does your medical alert bracelet or medic ID have enough information to save your life? How
about who to call if you are unconscious and hospitalized? MedicTag
keeps all your emergency information close at hand and any emergency service, ambulance, police or rescue squad
with a computer can have instant access to all your emergency
information. Emergency contacts, existing conditions, allergies,
medications;
MedicTag can tell them when you can't.

A report from the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine
cited studies showing between 44,000 and 98,000 people die each year
because of mistakes by medical professionals. It also said that "when a
patient is treated by several practitioners, they often do not have
complete information about the medicines prescribed or the patient's
illnesses."
Healthcare providers must often either start from scratch or act blindly
because they don't have the patient's relevant past history, allergies,
or medications.
With MedicTag safety of care will be improved, as patients and doctors
benefit from immediate access to the patients’ list of conditions,
medications and dosages, allowing all parties to avoid the sometimes
dangerous duplication of medications and other kinds of errors
associated with incomplete information.
In an emergency can your
medical alert device do all this?
Can other medical alert and ID devices do this? Only MedicTag can!
Your medical history
information is the first step to ensuring an accurate diagnosis and
proper care in an emergency. In an emergency, medical personnel
have just seconds to diagnose your needs and begin lifesaving
procedures. Unfortunately, patients are often incapacitated and cannot
communicate their special needs in an emergency and are subject to an
increased risk of medical errors.
Convenient and easy to carry, on a key ring or on
the included lanyard, you can keep it with you all the time. FEMA
and the Red Cross both recommend that your emergency information,
including medications and emergency contacts, be part of your disaster
preparation kit. In case of an emergency evacuation due to hurricane or
flood that information is much more likely to be available if you have
it on your key ring.
