MedicTag (also Medic Tag)
Medical ID, USB flash drive medi alert and medic information
MedicTag is the original USB (Universal Serial Bus) personal medic information and alert 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. It stores information such as medical conditions, allergies, medications, emergency contacts and insurance information. The user inputs as much or as little information as needed on an easy to use, fill in the blanks type form. The information is stored on the drive and can be easily updated and ready for immediate retrieval in the event of an emergency. This method gives the users complete control over their information. The company does not gather, record or store any information about the user. This is important since many people are adverse to having their personal information stored on line or controlled by others.
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. In the event of an emergency in which a person is unable to speak, emergency personnel can obtain vital information by plugging the drive into the USB port on any computer. Ambulances in most major cities and many rural areas have laptops in the vehicle making possible almost instant access to vital information. Having access to a patient’s special needs provides emergency personnel and doctors with information that can speed diagnosis and prevent medical errors that result from incomplete or inaccurate information.
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.
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.
"The MedicTag is a superlative idea. These tiny USB drives have made it possible to easily record our medical information, keep it updated, and keep it with us. This should be essential in emergency situations and very convenient at appointments with physicians."About.com
Unlike other alert devices and medic ID bracelets that have one or two words engraved on a tag or a phone number to call, MedicTag has all your information immediately available. MedicTag LLC
