Each day when you wake up, you are confident that everything will be alright during the day. However, emergency strikes without warning. Are you prepared?

Just imagine:

You are on your way to work when you get a call from hospital that a loved one has been involved in a car accident. They were not able to save him. They did not know his blood type. If only he would have been wearing ICE-AID medical alert bracelet.

You are out with your family shopping when you suddenly realize your three year old went wandering off. You desperately search for him without success. The person that found him can't get a hold of you to advice you everything is alright. Don't you wish he was wearing ICE-AID?

No one plans to have an emergency but it is best to be prepared. Ice Aid medical and emergency alert bracelets are becoming more popular each day. Anyone can be involved in a car or work related accident, suffer a sport injury, suffer from a chronic disease or require special medicine.

Medical alert bracelets are devices that are able to speak for individuals that can't. In the event of an emergency, it Is imperative that first responders, caregivers or medical personnel, be able to quickly obtain a person's medical and emergency information. This can be the difference between life and death.

Without proper information, common symptoms can be misdiagnosed causing delays in treatment of the wrong treatment. A study by Patient Safety Incidents found that failure to diagnose and treat on time was the most common cause in patient safety incident. The study also shows that medical error occurs when doctors don't have access to prompt information.

Wearing medical bracelets can help speed assessment process, avoid harmful medication being given to patients, reduce misdiagnosis and extra medical costs. Medical Bracelets prevent minor emergencies from becoming major ones.

Even though 75% of emergency responders and doctors check for medical bracelet on their patients, 93% of people that are treated in the ER have no medical data or history available.

Ice-Aid (IN CASE OF EMERGENCY-ASSISTANCE IN DISTRESS) has developed the most advanced medical and emergency bracelet, using sms technology to provide this important information in the event of an emergency.
