Lifeguard30: New Keychain Device Saves Lives

Filed in archive Gadgets , Health on March 3, 2010

Traveling is often not an option for those with chronic health issues. Being out of reach of the family doctor is a scary thought, and medical bracelets aren't the right solution for 2010.

Lifeguard30 is a new product out, specifically relevant to those with diabetes and other medical conditions. When EMS arrive at a scene, they have no way of knowing a patient's medical history. However, LifeGuard30 has just been introduced to solve this problem.

The keychain device holds up to 30 pages of information such as allergies, blood type, current medications, and medical history, displayed on a color screen. Individuals are identified as the owners via their picture on the device and their last name in order to prevent identity theft.

Having spent the last few months training over 10,000 EMS workers in all 50 states on how to work if they encounter the device, the LifeGuard30 is just now becoming available to the general public.

It's really handy for adults and kids alike. Check it out.
