TECHNICAL INFORMATION
MediRead medical bracelets use NFC (Near-Field Communication) technology. They are passive devices that do not require a battery and are activated simply by scanning with an appropriate smartphone at close range (within 2-3cms).
Information is written to and read from these emergency bracelets using the free MediRead app. The full-function Android app requires an NFC-enabled phone to work. The read-only iOS version will work on iPhone 7 and above.
You can check if your Android phone has NFC capability by looking for the model in here. You can also check your phone’s settings to determine this.
SUGGESTED USES
Anyone with a medical condition or allergy, or those who may need to advise healthcare professionals of particular medications they are taking, should consider wearing a medical id bracelet such as MediRead. Even if there is no underlying medical condition, just the name and emergency contact numbers could be of use – for people engaging in outdoor sports for instance. People who may benefit from the device include those who:
- have any medical condition (such as asthma, epilepsy, diabetes etc.)
- have any serious allergies (such as to nuts, penicillin, bee stings, etc.)
- take medications (both prescribed and ‘over the counter’)
- have a rare blood type
- engage in outdoor sporting activities such as hiking, orienteering, running, cycling, motor cycling, kayaking, rambling, etc.
- travel, especially to remote destinations, or go on cruises
- have any kind of language barrier that may prevent them from communicating effectively with medical staff
MediRead medical alert bracelets provide a simple, easy-to-use, cost-effective and durable means of providing some peace-of-mind.
AD from Neath, Wales –
I think this is a great idea especially for people like myself with complicated needs even though I look physically well, it will give attending medics a fighting chance of ensuring they give me the best possible treatment.
So here is hoping I never have to put it to the test but feel safer for having it nonetheless.

I have had the Mediread bracelet now for a couple of months, fortunately I have not had to use it in an emergency. This is an excellent idea.

Just finished entering ALL of my essential medical data onto my bracelet & LOVE knowing I have it! I hope i never need to use it in another emergency transport situation with nobody knowing any of my conditions, medications & allergies…but as of today THAT’s one concern off my mind! THANK YOU!!
