History
TextID, an innovative take on the medical identification bracelet, makes medical information, medications, and emergency contact information immediately available in an emergency using the speed, efficiency, and convenience of a text message. TextID is a brand owned by Medical ID Marketplace, A Hope Paige Company (in partnership with ICEdot, powered by the American Ambulance Association). Each TextID product comes with a pre-engraved, unique PIN which the user uses to create a secure, web-based profile that can be changed or updated at any time from any computer, smartphone or tablet.
Once the user receives his TextID item with a unique PIN, he activates it using this PIN and creates a secure profile, including medical history, current medical conditions, medications, "ICE" (in case of emergency) message, physician names and phone numbers, insurance information, and up to 10 emergency contacts.
In an emergency, the user's PIN can be texted to 5-10-20 in the United States (text to +1-918-373-9989 in Canada) by a first responder or good Samaritan. Within seconds, a text response is received which includes the "ICE" message, a link to the user's web-based profile, and prompt for the first responder to text "A" for allergy information, "M" for medication information, or "N" to notify emergency contacts. Emergency contacts (up to 10) can be contacted by text, email, or phone message.
