New Twist On An Old Idea
Posted by Brad Adrian in "SOFTWARE" @ 01:00 AM
Here's a little application, called Emergency Medical Alert, aimed at making sure your vital medical information is available in the event of an emergency, kind of like those medical alert bracelets some of us wear.
"Are you allergic to a drug? What is your blood type? Who should be contacted if you fall seriously ill? What type of Medical coverage do you have? What is your medical history? Emergency Medical Alert is a program that jumps out at anyone who turns on your device and can provide important information in your treatment in case of an emergency."
Of course, I like the idea of making such important information readily available, but I also wonder if an emergency worker would necessarily think to see if I've got a Pocket PC. Maybe what I need is this application AND a nifty bracelet that says "I've got a Pocket PC."
In any event, you can't beat the price of Emergency Medical Alert. For only $4.95, you can make sure all important information is only a screen tap away.
