American Medical ID was featured in a Wall Street Journal article last week, discussing the new high-tech styles of medical ID bracelets. Featured was our USB Dog Tag ID – our own engravable Dog Tag USB ID!

Read an excerpt from the article here:

“New bracelets and other medical-identification systems can fill in first responders on practically a patient’s complete health history. They’re a far cry from the simple identification bracelets of the past, which with a few engraved words informed medics that a person was, perhaps, allergic to penicillin. They can steer first responders to a secure website or toll-free phone number, or initiate a text message, to get the medical and prescription history of a patient who may be unconscious or unable to talk about their condition.
