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.

With dozens of customer orders packed and ready to go to Royal Mail at 4PM the last thing you want to hear from the ASDA delivery driver whose van is straddled across the entrance to your business is "Sorry mate, it's broke down. It's an automatic and there's no way to roll forward."
No prizes for guessing that's what we were told. There wasn't a chance of making it to Royal Mail on foot either. This time of year daily deliveries of emergency identity products to our customers are absolutely essential; people are going away on summer holidays and do tend to think about emergency ID as a last minute thing. Fo years now meeting the demand has been sometimes challenging as people place an order and then email us saying I need this for tomorrow. Last night for example we had an order at 20:00 and an email saying we need this for tomorrow! We could do with one of those pods from the film The Fly, but without the fly in it of course - we don't want a giant half fly half medical ID wristband do we! Fortunately the breakdown truck came to the driver's rescue and we made it out on time. The look on the face of the postmaster as I walked in at 17:15 was a picture. He said... "Oh my...! Give 'em here Lee." This sixty second video shows how super fast it is in an emergency for anyone to get all your vital ID, emergency contact information and medical information. You ID Me is the UK's leading emergency medical ID and alert service because it is the only service that automatically alerts your emergency contacts to let them know that you have a problem.
Medical use If you have a medical condition this is a service well worth having. The service is also capable of sending the contact details of the first responder that is treating you to your emergency contacts (if they are provided), so that your loved ones/family or carer is able to make contact with them to get the latest information on your condition; where you are, if you are being taken to a hospital, if so which one, etc. etc. Child safety use Think of how helpful this service is for parents of young children travelling to unfamiliar tourist destinations. Young children wanting a little freedom in and around the pool or on the beach can quite easily have an accident. Knowing that you would receive an automatic alert to your phone in the event of an accident or emergency can help you feel easier about extending them the freedom that they seek. Additionally, travelling through or to busy places such as stations, airports, holiday destinations can be a worrying experience in terms of keeping your child close by and safe. little ones often wander off and a child goes missing every three minutes in the UK. This is the 'full pot' of statistics.
