Medical Id Bands.......what is the next step?

Feb. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- In times of emergency admission to hospital it can take up to 3 working days to obtain all a patients medical information, for some patients who are unable to communicate this may mean the difference between life and death.

999Card based in Bolton have developed a new system to not only replace traditional medical id bands but make them more convenient and give them the ability to store your complete medical data at the same time. It is a USB stick in the size and shape of a standard credit card that can be carried in your purse or wallet, the USB simply plugs into any Excel 2007 – 2013 computer and can be completed with all the users medical information.

Medical id bracelets have long been an essential item for people with allergies or medical conditions which impact on their daily life. It is vitally important to be able to communicate with first responders and hospitals any specific allergies or conditions that a patient may have in times of emergency, simple medical id bands do not do this to a satisfactory level. The new 999card changes all this, it is individually printed to the users requirements on the front of the card as a normal medical id band would be but contained on the card is software which stores all the patient’s medical information ranging from next of kin to allergies and conditions to doctors and/or medical insurance to family history and lifestyle! The card can even be used to store a living will, copies of prescriptions or doctors letters or donor information.

For each card purchased £5 of the purchase price of £25 is donated to the charity of the buyers choice, there is no yearly fee and free software updates for the life. It is not only ideal for people with specific allergies or medical conditions but would benefit groups such as motorcyclists, extreme sports enthusiasts, travellers and vulnerable family members.

This card really is ‘the card which could save your life’ they can be purchased online at: www.999card.co.uk
