Travelling season is the best time of year. The weather is warm, people spend more time outside and the sun stays up long into the evening. Summer months are some of my favorite although they can also be very dangerous when it comes to your health. Dehydration, sunburns, allergies among other perils exist during these months. I've learned from experience to drink a lot of water and wear a lot of sunscreen, but equally as important is protecting yourself during travel by carrying your medical records.
Having your medical records available when you travel is essential for healthy travel. Your medical information such as prescriptions, medical conditions and allergies are important to have in an emergency situation and can potentially save your life. Medical records are difficult to get in your own town nevermind attempting to retrieve them remotely while on vacation. The LifeGuard30 system was developed in response to this very problem.
Our President, James' Grandmother was visiting from Florida when she fell and broke her hip. James and his family waited an excruciatingly long time for her medical records to arrive from her doctor in Florida. James was disturbed by the lack of efficiency and decided to search for something his Grandmother could carry to avoid this scenario in the future. To his dismay all of the “solutions” he found were not complete solutions. Some wouldn’t work in a national disaster and some wouldn’t even work in an emergency at all. Instinctually James knew that there had to be a better way and decided to develop an emergency medical record system that would encompass all possible emergencies.
The LifeGuard30 system, with its backup system called LifeSupport, functions with a series of redundancies to ensure delivery of your medical records no matter what emergency. At 24/7/365 call center, Internet connectivity and a text-back system ensures that EMS and ER personnel have multiple ways to retrieve your information.
