Medical Technical thingo

Post by Dot »

I have a friend with many medical problems and a lot of them are life threatening, she told me she has been back to hosp
and the staff didn't know a few things about what her conditions were. I asked if there was any way she could have all her info on a disk or something and she replied .======

Dot, I have it all on a QR code on my watch. When they scan it, it also alerts my emergency contacts. They can then see every medical condition, allergy, medication I’m on, personal information etc on their own device.

Iam not at all techno savy but to think everything about is inside your watch. :o Too late for me now though. :lol:

The neighbour has something like that. He has a wristband that identifies him as diabetic and he has an implant that checks his blood sugar and heart rate. It connects to an app on his phone, which also shows his history. Only thing it doesn't do is check his blood pressure.
It's amazing what medical science has come up with.
