Medical ID Necklaces

If you have any kind of chronic medical condition, the answer is YES. Major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association and Mayo Clinic, recommend medical alert necklaces or bracelets for people with autism, Alzheimer's, diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, chronic kidney disease and more.

In a medical emergency, you might not be able to explain your medical conditions, allergies or other vital info. That's when your medical ID necklace speaks for you.

For privacy, you can tuck a medical alert necklace inside your clothing. First responders are trained to check your wrists and neck for a medical ID, so your medic alert necklace won't go unnoticed.

You should engrave info that helps first responders diagnose and treat you in an emergency. Our EMS partners tell us that first, they need to know about severe allergies and medications you're taking. Then, list your urgent medical conditions. If you're diabetic, indicate if you have a CGM. If you have severe allergies, say if you carry an EpiPen and where it's located.

MedicAlert's protection plans turn your medical alert necklace into a powerful protection system. With a plan, you keep a full digital health profile that's accessible when first responders need it. Upload care documents like a treatment plan or DNR. And if you're in an emergency, MedicAlert contacts your loved ones, so you're not alone in a crisis.
