Medical jewelry (ID's) are wearable items that can identify a person's important medical conditions to anyone helping them in case of an emergency. These are usually in the form of bracelets and charms (necklaces).
Most common uses are for conditions of diabetes, heart illnesses, epilepsy, implants, Alzheimer, allergies as well as taking special medications.
Some of the reasons for considering a medial ID are: - A lot of medical errors occur due to mistakes made when admitting or discharging from the hospital.
- All emergency responders are trained to look for a medical ID, and
- It can be instrumental in not turning a minor emergency into a major one.
