STAY SAFE WITH
OUR TECHNOLOGY
01 / CONVENIENT
Just attach the keychain onto your emergency medication, secure the band on your wrist, and you're set!
02 / INNOVATIVE
The unique combination of the heart rate tracker and activation button makes it less likely for users to accidentally trigger the alarm. If you are working out and your heart rate increases, the alarm will not go off unless you press the activation button. If you accidentally press the button, the alarm will not go off unless your heart rate is extremely high or low.
03 / COST EFFECTIVE
For non-lethal emergencies, MedAlert can be an alternative to calling 911. Ambulances are costly, and our technology can save you time and money.
FAST FACTS
ALLERGIES
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), more than 50 million Americans have experienced various types of allergies each year. Furthermore, allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S. Also, an AAFA study printed in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI) found that anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction, occurs in about 1 in 50 Americans.
ASTHMA
According to the CDC, 1 in 12 people (25 million people) have asthma. Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that asthma is the leading chronic disease in children.
EPILEPSY
According to the CDC, the number of U.S. adults and children with epilepsy is increasing, with at least 3.4 million people living with the disorder. Out of the 3.4 million, 3 million are adults and 470,000 are children.“Epilepsy is common, complex to live with, and costly. It can lead to early death if not appropriately treated,” said Rosemarie Kobau, M.P.H, head of CDC’s Epilepsy Program. “Everyone should know how to recognize a seizure and how to give appropriate first aid.”
PANIC ATTACKS
The Anxiety and Depression Association of America states that 40 million adults in the US age 18 and older (18.1% of the population) suffer from anxiety disorders
ABOUT US
INSPIRATION
We can all think of someone in our lives who suffers from chronic conditions, including asthma, epilepsy, allergies, and panic attacks. We designed MedAlert to help those people go about their daily lives more smoothly. Currently, the most widely used device for medical emergencies is LifeAlert, but it is not optimal for those who have medical emergencies that do not require an ambulance. Our product saves people time and money, so that they can enjoy all that life has to offer.
OUR VISION
We hope to create a future in which everyone can have fulfilling lives. We are combining aspects of the FitBit and LifeAlert to create a more accessible and convenient product for those with chronic diseases linked with heart rate changes.
TECHNOLOGY
Our kit consists of a wrist band with a pulse sensor, a keychain that is wirelessly connected to the wrist band, and an app that sets up your wrist band with your keychain.
