WELLalarm™ in Action for Kids with Allergies
Eleven-year-old Ali wears a Peanut Allergy WELLcharm to identify her severe peanut allergy.
During lunchtime at school, a classmate takes out a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, causing Ali to go into Anaphylactic shock.
The cafeteria aide sees Ali’s peanut-shaped medical alert WELLcharm necklace and quickly finds and administers the EpiPen® in her bag, saving her life.
If your child is allergic to…
Antibiotics * Eggs * Insect stings * Fish * Milk * Nuts * or Shellfish
…WELLalarm™ is the solution. By streamlining your child’s health records in one system, WELLalarm™ provides bystanders and first responders with easy, 24/7 access to their medical information in an emergency. This allows for lifesaving medical treatment to be administered quickly and efficiently.
WELLcharms™ and WELLtags™ are smart jewelry that your children can wear to identify their allergy in case they have a reaction or go into anaphylactic shock. Your kids will love this whimsical jewelry, and you will enjoy the peace of mind from knowing that you have taken proactive steps to keep your family well.
You can also use our tags for your child’s backpack, stickers for their cell phone or our WELLalarm™ clothing labels! Just as you would iron on labels for your kids clothes when they go to camp or school – now you can use our WELLalarm™ clothing labels, including your child’s name and access to their vital info in case of an emergency.
Additional uses of WELLalarm™ include:
- Notifying parents or a caregiver automatically if your child’s account is accessed in a potential emergency situation.
- Downloading, printing or faxing your child’s immunization records from your WELLalarm™ account for school and camp forms.
- A reminder service that notifies parents and kids by email or text message with appointment and medication reminders.
