FEATURE ARTICLE: History of Medical ID Bracelets
In 1963 the American Medical Association designed a special
symbol that would alert emergency medical personnel of special
medical conditions when they found someone who could not
communicate. This symbol was made available at no cost to any
manufacturer of bracelets, necklaces, wallet cards or any other
devices that could be used to warn others of a need for special
emergency care.
The news about the new symbol was distributed in the U.S. and
abroad. Through the years a handful of manufacturers produced
such items but it wasn't until the advent of computer engraving
that such items became more attractive. And since the coming of
the internet age there has been an explosion of medical alert
jewelry providers. The symbols vary and from the authentic AMA
logo but all are recognized because they are similar.
ID Bracelets - A Variety of Styles
Medical Alert / IDs also come in a variety of designs and
attractive materials such as gold, silver, pewter as well as the
ever popular stainless steel. Beaded bracelets attached to
engraved medical plates are also very popular.
Almost 50 years after their advent, medical alert IDs are
common and emergency personnel are trained to search for such
items. Many people have reported that a medical identification ID
has saved their lives. Medical IDs carry vital information
engraved on the ID plate to alert paramedics and other emergency
personnel such as doctors of a medical condition, allergy or
necessary medications.
The Need for Medical ID Bracelets
Wearing a medical ID is important if you have:
- A heart condition
- Diabetes
- Food allergies
- Medication allergies
- Asthma, Emphysema or COPD
- Epilepsy
- Autism
- Implants
For older patients with Alzheimer’s Disease, a Medical ID can
be a lifesaver in case they leave home and become
disoriented.
Bracelets and Necklaces - a Better ID Option
Some people carry a medical information card in their purse or
wallet, but a tucked-away card may easily be ignored or
overlooked in an emergency. Traditional medical identification
tags are worn on a chain around the neck or on a bracelet. These
types of visible ID's are preferred by medical professionals
because they are visible and easily accessible. In addition,
medical and emergency personnel are trained to look for medical
ID bracelets and necklaces. While some people opt to wear an ID
anklet, medical personnel may not think to look there.
Medical ID tags will most certainly change in the future as
information can be encrypted electronically. Some programs now
offer a service where medical records are kept electronically;
the medical ID provides a telephone number where your records can
be accessed at any time. A medical flash drive (a standard USB
"memory stick") is also something to consider. You can load your
critical medical information onto a small, inexpensive flash
drive and keep it on your keychain.
Remember: Activeaide have an extensive selection of
Medical Alert / Medical ID Bracelets, Pendants and Necklaces to

Whether you have Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Diabetes or any other
life threatening condition, Alert Jewellery / Jewelry is a
