Emergency medical identification in patients with chronic medical conditions
Emergency medical identification (EMI) comes in many forms, including jewelry, wallet cards, shoelace tags, seatbelt covers, on smart phones and more recently, tattoos. While some forms of EMI are free of cost, others are expensive with annual membership fees to provide comprehensive medical information 24/7 to emergency personnel. EMI is vital for patients with chronic and/or hidden conditions like seizure disorders, cardiac disease, allergies, adrenal insufficiency (AI), and diabetes. Having EMI improves access to life saving medical care in life-threatening situations.
