Just for fun - Some You ID Me video outtakes

16/8/2018

Comments

 
Looking back at these makes me laugh at myself. I'm definitely not a natural at recording video to camera. Often it requires many takes and yes from time to time I can get quite frustrated with myself.

As you can see from this bloopers sequence I also swear quite a bit when I mess up.

That said very few of my videos are cut; they're often recorded as a single piece... so I guess I should chunk them up a little.

Enjoy.

Multiple Medical Conditions Emergency ID - 7 Reasons Why You Need You ID Me

14/8/2018

Comments

 
If you have more than one medical condition it can be an issue trying to find a medical ID product where you can 'fit it all on'; it's hard to squeeze it all in and still create the needed recognition and awareness of your illnesses.

In years gone by people used to wear an engraved wristband or necklace with a single word on it. This was supposed to steer a paramedic or first responder in the right direction... Single word medical conditions such as Epilepsy, Dementia, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes was the kind of 'copy' that engravers would be most likely to be asked to scribe on a piece of jewellery.
 
You ID Me has caused that to be history. Nowadays if you have more than one medical condition you can make absolutely certain that a paramedic, first responder or member of the medical team will get to know all your vital life saving medical details by carrying an ID product that uses the You ID Me service.

In this short video by Director of You ID Me Lee Cunningham, he gives seven reasons why you should carry a You ID Me product if you have more than one medical condition.

Alert Medical Staff to 'No MRI' Medical Implants Even If You're Unconscious

14/8/2018

Comments

 
If you have been told "No MRI" then it is crucial that in the event of an emergency you are in some way able to alert medical staff to the reason why.

This may be a surgical implant of some kind that is not easily accessible; spinal column stimulation, pacemaker, portacath, rod, plate or something else.

So how can you alert medical staff about your surgical implant? It's vital that you do.

In this short video MD, Lee Cunningham explains how You ID Me has been helping people with medical implants since 2012 to alert paramedics, first responders and medical staff about their spinal column stimulation (SCS), pacemaker, portacath or metal plates / rods in order to avoid - or at least make aware before - being put through an MRI scanner.

New Child Safety Alert System Giveaway

12/8/2018

Comments

 
You ID Me is helping 1000's of parents of young children to keep their children safe.
We're giving our unique ID codes to parents to use the You ID Me service for child emergency id and alert purposes.
The system works anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection so it's especially helpful for parents travelling with young children to unfamiliar tourist destinations.
"We've release a short [one minute] advert to promote child safety, specifically to help protect young children from going missing." said Ahead Solutions MD, Lee Cunningham
"It's purposely dark and moody and at the end there's a link for parents to register. It's quick and easy to protect children with You ID Me."
If a child get lost or goes missing, the You ID Me system quickly provides first responders with parental contact information to any mobile device.
It is also capable of immediately sending an alert to parent's phone/s the moment their child's profile is accessed - which can also contain first responder contact details.

Additionally the system cleverly creates a two way bridge between your emergency contacts and the first responder treating or caring for you.

Child Safety Getting Lost - Great Resource  to Teach Children

10/8/2018

Comments

 
Okay so  this video is a few years old now and so  feels a little dated in one or two areas. But the main learning holds  and, its a great visual learning tool to show to  very young children when teaching them what to do in the event they become lost or separated from parents or guardians.

The video was created by  Katy Jones and Linda Mort who very sadly are no longer with us. but their work here is  very helpful in  teaching young kids  some really valuable  life lessons.
Please see also my recent videos on child safety whilst travelling which I have linked to below. Thank you for your time viewing. Feel free to add ideas, comments  or suggestions for other parents of young children dropping by.

Teach a child what to do if they become lost when travelling or in public - 2 of 3

9/8/2018

If you are looking for an effective method to teach a young child what to do should they become lost or separated from you when in public, travelling or even on holiday, look no further.

In this short informal video on how to teach your child what to do if they become lost in a public place Lee references work being done with children with autism in the United States that is working well.

"The problem is with a lot of the advice and guidance that is out there is that there is no differentiation of method that might work best for children of different ages." says the director of You ID Me, Lee Cunningham.  "In my opinion the YELL! method particularly suits very young children say from age four to seven. Whilst the 'locate a safe stranger' technique often cited is better for slightly older children."

In this short video Lee delivers helpful and practical guidance for keeping your young child safe by teaching them exactly what to do if they become separated from you.

Child Lost Public Place? What to do and Why the first 60 seconds is VITAL

8/8/2018

Comments

 
What would  you do if your child went missing in a busy  public place such as an airport
Lost child airport. Busy places where there is constant distraction for children and parents are high risk for children getting lost and going missing
Children often get lost and go missing airports and other busy places
I'll never forget reading Sandy and Helen's account of what happened when their daughter Sophia got lost at the airport back in 2017. It was emotional reading and still sends shudders down my spine.

​My own daughter is 18 months old. I cannot imagine the pain they must have gone through.
Sophia was just holding my hand and is now a million miles from me"
There were many sad lines in that story, which thankfully had a happy ending. You can read the  customer's full account of how their child went missing at the airport.

Three things you can do to  avoid losing your child

There are  a number of things that you can do before you  venture out which reduce the risk of your child going missing.  here are my top three: -
  1. Kit them out with a child emergency ID bracelet and use the parent alert  plan (Platinum)
  2. If they of an educable age, teach  (and roll play) the  Yell Method in case your child gets lost  or    separated from you
  3. Teach them what a  trusted stranger is

What should you do if your child goes missing?

But if you are unfortunate enough to go through the experience of losing a child one of the most recent pieces of advice being given to parents is  : - 
  • Stay absolutely put for a minute or two
    Don't move from the spot  where you are because it is likely that your child will  return to where they last were with you
Easier said than done perhaps; in the heat of the moment I imagine one would want to search the entire vicinity for their young child that has gone missing.

If you are with  another adult then at least one of you stay put whilst the other goes to seek help. Remember most large organisations such as shopping malls, airports, train stations and even retail stores have lost child procedures; they are quite used to dealing with children getting lost and separated from parents and, they are there to help.

Here's one thing you can do right now...

Watch this short video and  register for your free child ID  to help ensure a quick reuniting if your young child becomes lost or missing .  In the event they or you get momentarily distracted and become lost   or separated You ID Me can  alert you straight to your phone just as soon as their profile is accessed from any phone, tablet or PC.
