If you know anything  about Addison's Disease then you'll know that it's a serious medical condition  requiring constant monitoring of the patient's condition and fast action in case of emergency.

So what is you don't know someone has Addison's Disease and there is an emergency? How would you know how to help? What to do? Where to start? 

Thankfully for those  with Addison's Disease there is the Addison's Disease condition specific You ID Me bracelet. Put simply this truly is a potential  life saver; it informs first responders fast in case of an emergency  situation and it can send emergency SMS alerts to your  loved one , next of kin or other emergency contacts to let them know that you have a medical emergency.

If a person with Addison's Disease is having an adrenal emergency then a first reponder can very quickly learn about their condition, medications and emergency contacts simply  by entering their unique You ID Me ID code into the emergency box at the You ID Me homepage or even quicker by scanning the QR code on the iD card inside their bracelet.

Learn What You ID Me is and  how it works for  Addison's Disease

This will present all the information that the patient with Addison's Disease has chosen to register. It's fast, very helpful and potentially lifesaving in the event of an adrenal emergency.

One of the unique things about You ID Me range of Addison's Disease emergency ID  products is the ability for the system to alert family, spouse, next of kin or loved ones if the emergency profile of the person with Addison's is experiencing an emergency , or has an accident.

As soon as their profile is accessed the system can be set to trigger fast and direct routed SMS  text messages to their emergency contacts... it's as easy as ticking a checkbox when they 're completing their emergency information.

This gives the person with Addison's disease and their family  complete peace of mind that in the event of an accident or emergency, they are going to be first to know.

As developer of the Addison's disease  emergency medical ID system I have often asked people  two questions: 

1. If a family member had an emergency would you want to be first to know?
2. Why?

It seems instinctively obvious and therefore a silly question really but 100% of people answer "Yes" to question one and the real answer to question two is  simply this...

Being first to know if a family member has an emergency can positively alter the course  of events following the emergency; it can change the 'what happens next'. for the better. And  any product that offers  that is surely worth it's weight in gold. Would you agree? Please tell us if so or if not  by leaving a comment.

You can't keep them wrapped up in cotton wool as the saying goes. But when they are out and about; at school; at sleep overs;  school trips; outings or  play dates you may be more likely to worry about  your  child coming to contact with  peanuts or other allergen.

Our adapted vital ID bracelet ensures that if your child has an allergic reaction or other type of emergency when they are not with you  you can be first to know .

The system can easily be set up to trigger emergency SMS text alerts to up to two mobile phones - immediately whenever your child's emergency ID wristband / bracelet is used to access their emergency medical profile.

Emergency services or any first responder can quickly access all your  child's vital emergency medical information in  three ways: - 

1. By scanning the QR code with ANY smartphone
2. By entering your child's unique You ID  Me code at www.you-id.me
3. By simply reading the written information on the front of your child's nut allergy bracelet / wristband

Obviously since space is limited for handwriting, methods one and two above will provide  a higher quality of your child's emergency medical information - and indeed this is the most commonly used  method of access .

But the best part about the You ID Me Child Nut Allergy Bracelet is that the system can immediately alert you that your child has a medical problem.  It can also provide you with the name and contact details of the first responder (if they agree to provide this information).

Our  child nut allergy bracelet ships with  free access to You ID Me Silver Plan for life.   When you activate your child's ID we'll upgrade you to our emergency alert sending Platinum Plan for 90 days and provide you with five emergency SMS text  alerts to use in that time.

If you wish to upgrade permanently to Platinum Plan  you may do so at any time. The cost is £2.99 per month and is paid annually in advance.   

It's no wonder why our children's nut allergy bracelet is the safest of its kind. If you have any questions after reading this post please contact us at   You ID Me. Thank you for reading.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetically inherited condition affecting mainly the lungs and digestive  system. One in 25 people have a single  'faulty' gene. If their partner has  a faulty gene too, then there is a one in four chance of a pregnancy resulting in a baby with CF.

People with CF take a great deal of medication. So it's vitally important for any carer of someone with Cystic Fibrosis to know that  the person they're looking after is a CF patient. 

Meals need to be supplemented with pancreatic enzymes  and regimented  doses of antibiotics are an essential  part of the daily medication regime.

In an emergency it would be really important for a first responder or paramedic to be aware that the person that they are treating has cystic fibrosis.  And there are many reasons for this. 

Knowing what medications the patient is on would be very helpful.  Indeed some CF patients are 'fitted' with titanium ports beneath their skin  so that IV medications and  blood sampling is made easier and less painful.

Knowing  this and knowing what sized syringe to use would be vitally important for a paramedic.

If someone with cystic fibrosis  has an emergency and is 'out cold'; unable to communicate with a helper or paramedic, there would be no way for the first responder to know that the person  (with the emergency) has cystic fibrosis.

This is a big problem because  treatment for the cystic fibrosis sufferer could be    SO MUCH BETTER  if paramedics / ambulance staff had the awareness of i) the patient's medical condition/s  ii) more  specifically the medications that they are taking regularly  and iii) any medical equipment the patient has fitted.

You ID Me  helps people with cystic fibrosis in any emergency situation because it allows them to   wear an identity solution enabling any first responder, paramedic or ambulance crew member  to : - 

1. Immediately identify that they have cystic fibrosis
2. Give  fast information about all the medications that they  are taking
3. Provide a positive photo ID and paerhaps just as importantly....
4. Alert their spouse, next of kin, family or other emergency contact that they are having an emergency.

You ID Me is the UK's leading emergency  alert service. We hold emergency  information for  10's of thousands of people both in the UK and  globally. Our system is advanced. It is not only capable of  providing paramedics with all your emergency information on the spot form anywhere in the world but also alerting your loved ones to let them know that you have a problem.

We don't need a long post for this one. It's every parent's nightmare situation: their child goes missing even for a minute. The  horror is exacerbated  when abroad  or in any unfamiliar  environment.

A new solution from You ID Me  can help ease parents mind  from the moment they set out on holiday. 

Child Holiday ID Bracelet allows  parents to register all their mobile contact and holiday stay  information on the You ID Me system. The  information is linked to the child ID wristband via a unique ID code .

In the event the child becomes separated from parents  the  ID , when accessed  from the You ID Me homepage can trigger instant SMS alerts to mobile phones anywhere in the world - to let parents know that their child has been located.

It beats waiting for  the authorities to make contact.

Additionally it  the bracelet serves to provide the finder of your child with parent contact information and  any other important information about your stay.

Child Holiday  ID Bracelet can be updated  time and time again so is good for every holiday  - not just one.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL ID SOLUTION
Your child's holiday emergency ID  can also be used as a highly effective emergency medical ID bracelet.  By registering  your child's medical condition and any medications on the You ID Me system  the information will be available to a first responder of the emergency services  quickly in the event of an accident  or an emergency. It can be life-saving.

It's a very good idea to carry a form of emergency medical ID if you  have been prescribed and regularly take any anticoagulant medicine  such  as : - 

• heparin.
• warfarin (Coumadin)
• rivaroxaban (Xarelto)
• dabigatran (Pradaxa)
• apixaban (Eliquis)
• edoxaban (Savaysa)
• enoxaparin (Lovenox)
• fondaparinux (Arixtra)

We've created  our Anticoagulant Emergency ID Bracelet for people that take these medicines  so that paramedics and first responders can be made aware immediately   before  they start to  treat and possibly administer  other medicines  to a patient that in an emergency situation.
