For anyone who engages in potentially dangerous activities or who travels overseas, RoadID (800-345-6336 / www.RoadID.com) has created an inexpensive identification bracelet that will allow emergency medical people (hospitals, doctors, etc.) to obtain your identity and any information about your medical history, even if you're unconscious and unable to share this data yourself. The RoadID bracelet ($19.95) can be engraved with your full name, address and contact information for one or two of your emergency contacts, or quickly direct emergency medical personnel to the RoadID company's website so they can access vital details about your medical history (which you provide) - information that could potentially save your life. This Emergency Response Profile (ERP) is created by you and is available online or by telephone. Your ERP can communicate to first responders your name, address, emergency contacts, health insurance, medical information, and more.
The RoadID bracelet is available in multiple colors and can comfortably be worn by travelers to help make it easier for someone to identify you and make contact with your loved ones (or your own doctors) should an emergency arise. According to the company, "In the event of an accident, if you can't speak for yourself, your Road ID will. It's available in five different styles. It's not just a piece of gear - it's peace of mind."
RoadID bracelets can be ordered online from www.RoadID.com. This new twist on traditional ID bracelets makes for a potentially useful accessory for overseas travelers, and for under $20.00, it's something I'd strongly recommend (in addition to purchasing travel insurance when traveling overseas for business or pleasure.)
