HOW KOD-I SAVES LIVES?

1. INFORM OTHERS OF YOUR CONDITION.

First, a KOD-I bracelet makes it obvious what your medical history is.

If you suddenly pass out in a restaurant and start having convulsions,

staff will be able to react faster if they see you living with epilepsy.

Likewise, if you start choking and out of breath, they will be able to read that you have an allergy and carry an epipen,

rather than thinking you're just choking.

This information could seriously save your life, as misdiagnoses are common,

even among medical professionals.

Once rescuers arrive, they will be able to work accordingly,

knowing your exact medical history,

instead of clinging to mirrors as they try to gure out what's happening to you.

2. RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

In addition, the emergency services will be able to intervene immediately.

This could seriously save your life, especially if you live with type 1 diabetes,

a debilitating heart condition or other serious illness, or allergy.

By eliminating the lengthy evaluation process, they can begin to provide medical assistance relevant to your current condition and medical history,

which can increase your chances of survival in severe cases.

3. AVOID ALLERGENS.

Others living with severe allergies may warn caregivers and paramedics of their allergies to make sure they are not given anything that could be lifethreatening, be it certain medications or even latex gloves.
