Safe Mate Wristband: Lifeguard App
"Are you okay?"
"Who are you? "
"We need to take you into emergency, who should we call?"
It has happened to me and luckily I did not have to undergo any serious treatment. BUT I do know some of my closest friends and families with serious allergies or medical conditions. It's important for medics and doctors to understand the patient's personal medical history so they can to properly treat them.
Australian lifeguards has rescued 12,600 people and many of 'rescuees' do not have their details on them. After speaking with lifeguards and surfers, to extreme sport lovers to hikers, it turns out they wanted an innovative product that safely carries their emergency details.
THE BIG IDEA IS
Just to be on the safe side, we are creating 'Safe Mate.' A wearable and light wristband that could contains your personal information, including medical history and documents. The wristband links and filled with your personal identifications and data.
Having personal information ready for rescuers will save time and improve the rescue process.
It's about being ready and being precautions.
THIS IS HOW EASY 'SAFE MATE' IS:
1) Purchase a 'Safe Mate' wristband at your local surf shop
2) Go online and fill out your details
3) And...PRESTO! You can now wear 'Safe Mate.'
