That's why when I found out about My ID Square, I was intrigued! It's not a normal Medical ID Bracelet. It's a new & improved version. It's Medical ID Jewelry that has a QR Code you can scan.
I love this idea for many reasons:
Ability to Update Info:
I can update Paige's information without having to purchase a new ID (because of a new phone number or an additional diagnosis). I can easily access her ID Square account at any time & add multiple emergency contacts. In addition, if she was ever in an emergency situation, doctors could access her health history easily if I wasn't around (or if I was too scatterbrained at the time to remember).
It's Convenient:
It seems like everyone has a cell phone that can scan a QR Code nowadays.
It's Private:
If she didn't want everyone knowing her diagnosis, this is the only Medical ID that gives her privacy. They also have some charms you can add on for those diagnosis you do want everyone to know about (ie: food allergies). Also, strangers can't look at her name on a bracelet and trick her into thinking they know her.
I'm In The Loop:
I love that every time someone scans the QR Code, I'm notified.
My ID Square was made by a husband/wife team. The husband (Joel) is a kidney specialist & the wife (Irene) is a software engineer. I love that they joined forces to help families around the world. They've done an awesome job of coming up with this idea & executing it. I'm very impressed with the ease of accessing Paige's account & all of the information I can add.
I love this new concept for Medical IDs & would recommend them to anyone!

ReplyDeleteHow cool is this??? I recently wrote a blog post about the importance of having a medical ID for special needs kiddos. It goes live at 6am (EST) on 2/11. Hope you don't mind, but I added a link to this post! (Visiting from Love That Max LinkUp!)
