WELLalarm™ in Action for People with Chronic Illnesses

  • 63-year-old Laura has kidney stones and in addition to her general practitioner, she is seeing a urologist and a renal specialist.

  • With all the tests she's had, and having to take them back and forth to each doctor, Laura needed to have her records organized in one place.

  • Laura signed up for WELLalarm and uploaded all of her vital health information in her WELLalarm account. Shortly thereafter one of her new doctors needed to via an old MRI. With WELLalarm, Laura was able to show it to him instantly but loggining into her WELLalarm account. 

Having a chronic illness is demanding, both physically and emotionally. Juggling multiple doctors, gathering referral forms and keeping track of prescriptions can be as time-consuming and stressful as a full-time job—but it doesn’t have to be.

If you suffer from a chronic illness, WELLalarm™ allows you to have all of your personal health records right at your fingertips.

By streamlining your records in one system, WELLalarm™ gives you easy, 24/7 access to your medical information. You can download, print forms or simply fax them directly from your smartphone to your doctors. With your health records in one place, you will be prepared to ask and answer questions from your doctor and your office visits will go more smoothly.

In addition, you can wear a WELLcharm™ or WELLtag™ to identify your medical condition. This “smart” jewelry combines a sophisticated design with modern technology. The WELL-ID code inscribed on the back of your jewelry provides first responders access to your vital health information in an emergency, so wherever you go, your health records are just moments away. For your convenience, you may choose other items in the WELLalarm™ product line including a wallet ID card, key chain, sticker for your cell phone and more.

Additional uses of WELLalarm™ include:

  • Sending your medical records, including personal and family medical history, test results, X-rays and more, from your WELLalarm™ account to a new doctor or specialist. Your doctor can also fax results, prescriptions and referrals directly to your account.
  • Setting alerts to remind you about doctor’s appointments, treatments and even when to take and refill a prescription—a perfect solution for those with multiple doctors and prescriptions.
  • Adding an emergency contact’s information to your WELLalarm™ account and enabling them to be notified automatically by phone or text message in an emergency. You’ll feel secure knowing that your family can be contacted when you need it most.
