Be Prepared Organize your Health
Have you wondered about what if? I use to wonder what if all the time. What if something happened to my son and no one knew what his allergies were? Now that he is older and has grown out of “his situation” I have become lax. But now we have to go into that what if stage again. My son is getting older and this summer will be in another state without me (Mom). So how am I going to prepare him for that just in case possibility? I am going to prepare my son by organizing and filling in a Medic Tag so he can put it on his key ring and have his health records with him all the time. I will feel a little more at ease. Of course I will text, email and talk with him more then he probably needs but for that just in case, I will and he will be prepared by being organized.
Medic Tag
MedicTag is the original USB medic alert tag designed for emergency medic information and alert.
Medical alert bracelets, medic ID tags and medi alert jewelry have limited information available. A MedicTag USB medical alert and medic ID tag stores and has instant access to all your medical and emergency information.
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 useful for many conditions including
• ADD/ADHD
• Anemia
• Ankylosing Spondylitis
• Asthma
• Autism
• Blood thinners – Coumadin, warfarin
• Cancer patients
• Cardiac patients
• Cerebral Palsy
• Clinical trial patients
• Diabetes
• Emphysema
• Epilepsy, seizures
• Food, insect and medicine allergies
• Hearing, sight and mentally impaired
• Hypertension
• Mental health patients
• Multiple medications
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Rare diseases
• Special needs children
• Stroke risk
• Surgery, transplant patients
And caregivers for people who live with many of these conditions
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.
MedicTag is simple to use. Plug it into the USB port on your computer to start the program, there is nothing to install, it’s all on the MedicTag. Fill in the blanks with as much, or as little information as you need, click on “save” and you are done.
It requires very little computer skill to use, on most systems it is “plug and play” and is a simple fill in the blanks format. It is compatible with 99.9% of the home and office computer systems in use today and requires only Windows and MS Word to fill out the information form. And no special software is needed to read it, all Windows operating systems include WordPad which can read the information form.
You can also change your information, medications, doctors and any other health information whenever you need to so your information is always easy to keep up to date.
Convenient and easy to carry on a key ring 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.
Are you the caregiver for an aging loved one or other family member? Medic Tag can consolidate all their medical information into one form that’s easy to access.
