QR code IDs vs. engraved IDs

MedicAlert invented the very first medical ID bracelet way back in 1956. That classic design, with the globally recognized MedicAlert emblem and medical info engraved on the back, has been trusted for decades. 

Now, we’ve reinvented the medical ID with new technology that features your personal QR code, linked to your MedicAlert health profile. It’s the same proven MedicAlert service, but with easier access to all your important medical information!
