Emergency bracelet

What is an emergency bracelet?

An emergency bracelet is a wearable device designed to quickly and effectively alert help in emergency situations. It often contains important medical information about the wearer, which can be crucial for first responders and medical personnel. This information can be engraved directly on the bracelet or accessible via a QR code.

How does an emergency bracelet work?

An emergency bracelet can work in various ways:

Medical Information: This is engraved directly on the bracelet or accessible through a QR code that links to an online database. This allows first responders to quickly view the necessary medical information of the wearer.

Active Emergency Call: Some emergency bracelets are equipped with a button that can be pressed to make an emergency call. This call is sent either to an emergency center or to predefined contacts (family, friends, care services).

Who is the target audience for an emergency bracelet?

An emergency bracelet is particularly suitable for:

Older People: Especially those who live alone and have an increased risk of falls or other medical emergencies.

People with Chronic Diseases: Individuals with diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, or other serious health issues.

Children: Especially children with special medical needs or allergies.
