MedicTag is intended to foster and improve patient care, reduce medical errors and assure at least a minimum standard of health information is available when a patient is seen by a first responder or other provider.

With MedicTag  any emergency service, ambulance, police or rescue squad with a laptop computer can have instant access to all your emergency information. Emergency contacts, existing conditions, allergies, medications; Medic Tag can tell them when you can't.

A report from the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine cited studies showing between 44,000 and 98,000 people die each year because of mistakes by medical professionals. It also said that "when a patient is treated by several practitioners, they often do not have complete information about the medicines prescribed or the patient's illnesses."

MedicTag is useful for many conditions including

And caregivers for people who live with many of these conditions

 Healthcare providers must often either start from scratch or act blindly because they don't have the patient's relevant past history, allergies, or medications.

With MedicTag, safety of care will be improved as patients and doctors benefit from immediate access to the patients’ list of conditions, medications and dosages, allowing all parties to avoid the sometimes dangerous duplication of medications and other kinds of errors associated with incomplete information.

"MedicTags new digital emergency information and alert product gets an outstanding approval from medic and first responder personnel attending the “EMS Today” conference." (PRWEB)03/25/05

 Your medical history information is the first step to ensuring an accurate diagnosis and proper care in an emergency.

In an emergency, medical personnel have just seconds to diagnose your needs and begin lifesaving procedures. Unfortunately, patients are often incapacitated and cannot communicate their special needs in an emergency and are subject to an increased risk of medical errors.

"The Medic Tag is a superlative idea. These tiny USB drives have made it possible to easily record our medical information, keep it updated, and keep it with us. This should be essential in emergency situations and very convenient at appointments with physicians." (Teri Robert, About.com)

Unlike other medical alert devices and medic ID bracelets that have one or two words engraved on a tag or a phone number to call, MedicTag has all your information immediately available.

Do you need help filling out medical history forms when you visit a new doctors office? Or have trouble remembering your list of medications and dosage amounts? When was that surgery and who was the doctor?  We all have these problems.

With MedicTag you have your medical record available at all times. Just print out the MedicTag information form and take it with you, all your information is there to aid you when filling out medical record forms of any kind.

MedicTag is simple to use. Plug it into the USB port on your computer to start the program, there is nothing to install, it's all on the MedicTag. Fill in the blanks with as much, or as little information as you need, click on "save" and you are done.

It requires very little computer skill to use, on most systems it is “plug and play” and is a simple fill in the blanks format. It is compatible with 99.9% of the home and office computer systems in use today and requires only Windows and MS Word to fill out the information form. And no special software is needed to read it, all Windows operating systems include WordPad which can read the information form.

You can also change your information, medications, doctors and any other health information whenever you need to so your information is always easy to keep up to date.

Convenient  and easy to carry on a key ring you can keep it with you all the time.   FEMA and the Red Cross both recommend that your emergency information, including medications and emergency contacts, be part of your disaster preparation kit. In case of an emergency evacuation due to hurricane or flood that information is much more likely to be available if you have it on your key ring.

 Are you the caregiver for an aging loved one or other family member? Medic Tag can consolidate all their medical information into one form that's easy to access.

There are many medical ID bracelets and jewelry tags available today, however they are generally limited by their size to the amount of information that can be displayed on them and because of their small size, the tags are sometimes overlooked by emergency personnel during a crisis.  While they can alert medics that you have special medical needs, they can not convey all your important emergency information during a crisis, when it is needed most. The wallet cards some provide are also limited  by their small size and often become unreadable in a very short time.

MedicAlert ® provides a service that maintains your medical information for you  with a 24 hour member contact center. The Medic Alert ® emblem can indicate to first responders that a special condition exists but most of your vital information requires a phone call to retrieve. In an emergency, the minutes it takes to make that call could be critical to your care.
