MedicAlert Bracelet

MedicAlert Foundation

“A bracelet that speaks when the wearer cannot.”

Founded after a doctor's daughter had an emergency reaction, MedicAlert put diagnosis, allergies, and a 24-hour file number on a wearable plate. EMTs still look for it.

First durable, portable medical record for people living outside institutions.
