How You ID Me SMART Medical ID Wristband Works - New InfoGraphic Makes it Simple

You-ID.me Infographic

Infographic showing how you-id.me works. Smart Medical ID Wristband features NFC tag and unique ID allowing people with medical conditions to store unlimited information about their name, next of kin, medications, allergies,
Infographic: How You-ID.me works
Our best-selling medical ID wristband is simple yet effective. But because the medical ID system works with any smartphone, tablet or PC, it's easy to think that it's,,,well,,,complex!

That's why we've created this infographic that details the key components and features of the wristband.

SMART Medical ID Wristband: Quick Run Through

  1. The wristband is the comfiest on the market. The webbing base of the band's construct is the key to its comfort as within minutes of wearing you really do not know that you are wearing it.

  2. The plasticised ID card that conveniently slides into a discreet sleeve on the inside of the band has a dual purpose. i) on the front is space for you to write concise emergency details: your name, next of kin, their contact numbers and your medical condition/s or allergy/ies and ii) on the reverse is your unique ID which links to the MIGHTY You-ID.me medical ID database. Some of our bands also feature an NFC tag allowing a first attender to read it by smartphone.

  3. The system works with ANY connected device; smartphone, tablet or PC. As long as it has a browser and internet connectivity then your secure emergency medical ID profile may be accessed by using either i) your unique medical ID or ii) scanning with an open NFC device.

Good IDea for Medical Identity Wristband Next of Kin

16/4/2016

Comments

 

Sometimes the simplest ideas can be rather effective...

Whilst talking to a customer this week the lady explained that her daughter had taken a photo of the username label that came with her mother's You-ID.me wristband.

She wanted to have her mum's emergency ID handy as a backup in case she was not present or if per chance mum had forgotten to wear the bracelet.

She'd also sent the image through to other family members too.

It's not a bad IDea. Your unique emergency medical ID is yours to use wherever you wish... And appearing in more places will naturally increase the likelihood of your ID being located in the event of an emergency.

Other customers have their Unique ID in cars, on jewellery, as their office PC screensaver... last year we even heard of a young diabetic that had her ID applied on her forearm in semi-permanent tattoo for a hen weekend!!

So use your unique ID wherever you wish. That's what it's for.😊

Keep the good IDeas coming.

Wearable Tech Running Top Allows Smartphones to Access Wearer's Identity in Emergency

10/7/2015

Comments

 
Solo run this weekend? And will Sir or Madam be taking any emergency ID?

This week has seen the launch of our new range of Smartphone compatible ID integrated running gear. That means from now on, to ensure you have your life-saving emergency ID, all you need to do is wear your running top!
Emergency ID integrated Running Gear. Run clothes with your Identity embedded in the fabric!
Fitness ID embedded clothing works with any smartphone, iphone, andoid, blackberry and windows.
In the event of an accident or emergency the ID breast panel can be scanned with a compatible NFC Smartphone, or the code entered at You-ID.me.

This will provide immediate access to your secure emergency profile where you have registered your emergency contacts' information as well as any allergies, medical conditions, medications and specific instructions.

SET UP IS EASY

Order and set-up is simple; no apps to download and no programming nonsense to worry about: - 
  1. Choose your size and colour and pay
  2. Receive your garment
  3. Register and wear
You may link multiple garments to the same emergency ID profile.

SELECTION OF STYLES & COLOURS

With two styles available in long or short sleeve and six colours plus a choice of reflective options there is an ID embedded running top for everyone. 

LIFESAVING VALUE

Apart form the great use of technology as a safety application, one of the best things about this piece of wearable tech is the price; the investment to a runner is typically half what they would shell out for a running top and an ID wristband.

NFC Apple iphone 6 Plus RFID Compatibility for SMART ID Wristbands

13/5/2015

Comments

 
iphone 6 NFC access compatibility
Booo apple.
"Last year the Apple iPhone 6 joined the majority of smartphones by containing an NFC controller. However, at the moment, this new iPhone is locked down only to the Apple Pay mobile payment system. This means that iPhone 6 users are unable to take advantage of the massive potential of NFC through apps, tags and communication.

Despite this, in the 72 hours following it's launch, a million credit cards had been registered with Apple Pay - an indication of the popularity from Apple's user base. Since launch, we've been asked many times if an when Apple will open up access to the NFC controller and what difference it would make to the market. In answer to the first part - we simply don't know. Most commentators, including RapidNFC, believe that they will (and that it will be able to scan tags) but when is a different point.

As for what difference it would make, let's consider what will happen if the iPhone's NFC controller is opened up and allowed to function with NFC tags and applications." Credit the above from RapidNFC (no point in reinventing the wheel!).

SMART ID WRISTBANDS WHAT THAT MEANS

It still means that you are still 4 times more likely to be assisted by someone with a Smartphone that IS compatible with your SMART emergency ID wristband because 80% of the market (at the time of writing) uses a Smartphone with the Android, Blackberry or Windows operating system.

It would be poor judgement not to go SMART simply because you have an iPhone or because you're an advocate of Apple. We say go SMART now. At the end of the day you have to remember why you are buying the wristband. Your health or the health of a loved one, perhaps child safety, running or riding solo...

Aren't the odds worth the £5 more you pay for the SMART ID Bracelet?

If your ID wristband isn't a SMART ID Wristband then it's...erm... not so smart. Check out the very latest SMARTPHONE readable identity wristbands from You-iD.me.

ID wristbands have improved in terms of the amount of information they can hold but how do they work and what are the options? Here is a quick overview of the options with links to further information on each.
Comparison chart showing the difference between coded ID wristbands and SMART Identity wristbands bracelets
Identity wristband comparison chart

SMART ID EMERGENCY IDENTITY WRISTBANDS

SMART ID means the bracelet has an embedded RFID tag which carries all the wearer's vital information. It allows the tag to be read by most smartphones which is good news in the event of an emergency since most people own a smart device now.

Because your info is stored electronically it takes almost no space, so you can include all the really important things that you would want to say to a paramedic if you were able to. No more limited space with tiny illegible handwriting on a little ID card - now you really can include it all - there is no limit to what can be held.

Pros: It's fast! Your information is displayed in seconds. Works with most smartphones
Cons: Not currently compatible with Apple iphone due to their NFC controller being 'locked down' (Boooo Apple!)
