Medical Records and Your Health

With today's on-the-go lifestyle, keeping your health in mind seems like it is easier said than done. You’re busy enough as it is in your life. This makes it easy to forget to pay attention to your medical records and your own health.

If this sounds like you, don't worry because there is good news ahead. You have great options you can use to improve your safety and well being. Technology makes it easier than ever before to protect yourself due to emergencies. And Mediband is leading the way with our medical alert bracelets and tracking tools.

Let’s make your 2018 safer and better with some simple changes in your life. Even just a few of these changes can make a big difference.

Making Your Medical Records Yours Again.

The best way to ensure your safety and health comes with a direct approach to your medical records. MedibandPlus makes it even easier for you.

First of all, you need to visit your doctor and get a checkup. You could just have an annual physical and check your vitals. More tests may also be required due to what your doctor finds. In any case, it’s important to make this visit. It will help you get your ‘baseline’ about your health. That way, you won’t have any unexpected surprises down the road.

Next, determine what medical data you should make available for other people. Many people already know if their conditions may cause emergencies. These could include any of the following.

• Diabetes.
• Epilepsy.
• Allergies.
• Asthma.
• Current Medications.

Mediband medical bracelets give a quick and simple method to alert others. Wearing our comfortable silicone bracelets lets emergency responders know your conditions. And this knowledge is essential so they can help in an emergency.

Important Items to Include on Your Mediband Account

Although important, bracelets are only one part of the picture. What if you suddenly had a medical emergency and could not speak? You’ll want first responders to have answers to these questions so you can have a voice.

• Which medications are you currently taking?
• What are your current treatments?
• Which options should medical staff not provide?
• Who should medical staff contact in case of an emergency?

Medical bracelets provide crucial information in critical situations. Fortunately, MedibandPlus brings even more peace of mind. This comes thanks to easy access to more of your medical records.
