Emergent Helps Keeps Kids Safe

I distinctly remember being at a waterpark when I was about 10 years old and witnessing a man next to us start to go into diabetic shock. My mother, always prepared for diabetic situations because of my grandfather, handed him a Snickers Bar and two peppermint candies. He immediately took them and his children unwrapped them quickly and put them into his mouth.

My mother may have saved his life that day because she had the necessary “medication” he needed. However, I also remember that his wife and an ambulance came because he had been in the sun too long and did need medical assistance.

One thing he could have used was Emergentag, a new device that can be used in emergencies to give emergency workers all of your critical health information.

Do you have allergies? Seizures? Diabetes? Are you allergic to PENICILLIN?

EMERGENTag will plug into any standard computer running on Windows and emergency workers can download medical information about you when needed.
