Welcome to EmgCard
Imagine yourself or someone you love becoming the victim of a serious accident, seizure or heart attack. You are alone, unconscious and unable to speak, unable to answer questions from the medic or emergency room doctor. They won't know what serious medical conditions you may have, what medications you are taking, or what allergies you have, and they won't know who to call for the answers.
In this situation, all emergency medical responders must follow this basic rule: First, Do No Harm. If they don't know certain things about your medical history, the doctors must treat you conservatively, because what they don't know could harm or even kill you. Hospital mistakes account for an alarming number of deaths each year.
In situations like these, every second is valuable, and the time it takes to run tests to answer basic questions about your health can mean the difference between life and death, especially the time it takes to get you to the hospital where these tests can be performed and reviewed.
The Solution: EmgCard
The EmgCard is a wallet-sized CD card, containing your current personal emergency medical information, giving emergency personnel instant access to this critical information in cases of trauma and other emergencies.
- Current medications you are taking
- Allergies to medications or other substances
- Important medical conditions
- Emergency contact information
Emergency professionals are trained to look for these cards, and insert them into their laptop computers - right at the emergency site. Your emergency medical data is displayed automatically, with no need for a password - remember, you are unable to speak - so these professionals will know exactly how to treat you, right from the start, with no delay.
