Invisible Bracelet Launches Text Message Service

by Valerie on September 5, 2010

New Text Messaging Service from Invisible Bracelet

In case of emergencies, we find it difficult to get in touch with people close to us to get support. Invisible bracelet (IB) has been a solution to this problem faced by most of us. It is a virtual medical id which helps its members to share with the first person to attend to the member, vital health information in times of emergency.

Invisible bracelet has tied up with over 51000 Emergency Medical Service Providers and can notify up to 10 emergency medical transport contacts. Invisible bracelet helps in providing emergency medical services as well as informing the close relatives about the situation. It is a voluntary medical service that is used to service people requiring urgent medical attention. The Invisible bracelet sticker can be affixed on our purse, helmet, ID card or any other item we carry with us normally.

When in times of urgent medical attention we may not be able to get in touch with our close ones and this is where the IB comes to our rescue. With the virtual medical ID through Invisible Bracelet, the medical service providers can have instant access to the emergency medical service providers. This helps in providing protection to people needing urgent medical attention.

The IB members during registration with Invisible Bracelet share the critical information regarding his or her health as well as contact numbers in case of emergency. Members can enroll for SMS service from IB and in emergency situations, the first respondents can get the medical information about the person through a text message from IB, quoting the IB ID of the person in need of medical attention.

“People are taking control of their health information in a brand new way and connecting with their family members and friends when it matters most,” said Noah Roberts, CEO, Invisible Bracelet. With our expanding network of EMS and Emergency Department (ED) health care providers, iB is turning into a must-have resource for every American.”

All major mobile service providers are enabled for providing this support. The enhanced Medic Network provided through IB helps the Licensed Medical Service Providers to get access to the medical information about the patient. In case of requirement of medical treatment, the medical service providers can instantly alert the ICE contacts with details of requirement. The service is available to the members at a cost of $10 per year.

IB is of late becoming a necessity for every American to get medical assistance in times of emergency and to notify the close ones in such situations. The IB membership can be purchased online and the IB cards will be received through mail. Then with the help of the PIN provided on the IB card, a profile can be created on the website  invisibleBracelet.org. The emergency contact details can also be updated then. The IB card can be affixed on the items we normally carry as mentioned earlier.

The sharing of vital information through IB helps in providing critical medical attention to the patient. The IB is also partnering with American Ambulance Association. The IB service is provided by Docvia, a private company which aims at providing faster medical assistance to people in need.

Further details are available in the portal invisibleBracelet.org.
