Has anyone looked at the Medic Alert Foundation lately? You can get a UCB key where you can store pertinent medical info and have with you at all times. I believe it is called the EHealth key.

for an adult i would say sure but for a child i couldnt forsee that. I bought my daughter a sports braclet and i just bought her a necklace since she is tired of wearing the other. a thought though can you upload info to that usb or delete from it without being up on the medicalert website? if so that may be a little dangerous someone screwing around with your meds, times you take them, what you take etc. just my .02 worth. scott

I am trying it out now and will check on this . One of the UCBs from another company locks so you can read only, unless you are the originator of the document. Sports bracelets are great too.. just got my Dad one and he'll wear it which is a major plus! Good questions - I'll get back to you! Epi_help
