MEDICALERT EMIR

In a medical emergency, every second counts—and this is especially true for children who live with allergies or asthma. MedicAlert Foundation, a nonprofit foundation, has been managing and communicating critical medical information on behalf of its 4 million members since 1956. By wearing a personalized MedicAlert bracelet, children are provided with 24/7 emergency response and family notification services. If a child experiences a life-threatening allergic reaction or an asthmatic attack, parents or guardians and emergency care responders are notified within the first few critical moments of the reaction. Emergency medical personnel are trained to look for the MedicAlert emblem, which provides the child's personal identification number, primary medical condition(s) including any allergies, and the 24/7hour emergency response service number. A call to the MedicAlert emergency response service enables responders to access the child's vital medical information including emergency contacts.

MedicAlert's emergency medical information record (EMIR®) connects with Microsoft HealthVault so all of the data stored in your child's HealthVault account will be available & accessible to the MedicAlert 24/7 emergency response center in case of an emergency. Emergency responders will have the most

MICROLIFE

Microlife's Digital Peak Flow Meter measures the function of the airways affected by asthma or COPD. The severity of asthma or COPD can change with time, so measuring peak flow at home is essential for monitoring lung function between doctor visits. Measuring peak flow allows patients to anticipate when their breathing will become worse and to take appropriate action before symptoms worsen.

Peak flow measurements can help both patient and doctor monitor the disease and is important for accurate prescription of medications in the treatment and management of these conditions.

One of the biggest issues faced by doctors when it comes to asthma monitoring is a patient not keeping accurate records. Microlife's Digital Peak Flow Meter records every measurement immediately, and is more accurate than manual peak flow meters that rely on the user to properly keep track of measurements.

The Microlife Peak Flow Meter works with Microsoft HealthVault, so patients and doctors can manage a patient's asthma and COPD. Simply connect the peak flow meter to a PC via USB cable and upload the stored values to your personal health profile. Providing your doctor with your peak flow readings will give them a more complete view of your health to help inform their decisions for treatment.
