Indestructible USB Emergency IDs
In the past, the mail order and online engraved ID bracelet was consumers' only option. These old-fashioned IDs are limited to five lines of text and can't be updated to include new information as one travels or as medications change. EPIC-id is changing all of that. A streamlined, impact- and waterproof bracelet with a USB port, it saves and stores all of your pertinent statistics so that if something happens, EMTs, firefighters and first responders have all the information they need. EPIC-ids are reliable, comprehensive and self-contained, making them the future of the med-ID market.
