MedicTag - Medical USB

Do you wear a medical alert bracelet or other type of medic ID?

Does your medic ID bracelet or jewelry have enough information to save your life in an emergency?

In an emergency your medical information is critical to an accurate, timely and possibly life saving diagnosis.

MedicTag is a digital USB personal medical alert and information device 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 assure at least a minimum standard of health information is available when a patient is seen by a first responder or other provider.

Does your medical ID have enough information to save your life? How about who to call if you are unconscious and hospitalized? With MedicTag all your emergency information is close at hand.

With MedicTag any emergency service, ambulance, police or rescue squad with a laptop computer can have instant access to all your emergency information such as emergency contacts, existing conditions, allergies and 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.
