When it comes to health, every second counts. In an emergency, first responders need to know your medical conditions and allergies straight away - not after searching a phone, contacting family, calling a helpline, or waiting for records. A medical ID does exactly that. It speaks for you when you can’t.
At My Identity, we believe medical IDs are more than jewellery, they are a safeguard. Whether you choose one of ours or another, the important thing is that you wear one. And if you’ve ever wondered whether they really make a difference, here are some powerful stories from our own customers.

The Benefits of Wearing a Medical ID
1. Fast and Accurate Care
A medical ID can save valuable time. Instead of guessing or running tests, paramedics and hospital staff can see your conditions instantly and act quickly. Not only that your NHI (National Health Index) number is visible by first responders and hospitals.
2. Peace of Mind for You and Your Loved Ones
It’s reassuring to know that even if you’re alone, your health information is clear. Family and friends also feel more confident knowing you’re protected and can get care quickly.
3. Everyday Security
Medical IDs aren’t just for emergencies. They’re helpful when travelling, exercising, or in any situation where you might not be able to speak for yourself. How about if you are hiking, wearing an ID can help in all sorts of situations.
4. For a Wide Range of Conditions
People with epilepsy, diabetes, asthma, severe allergies, heart conditions, autoimmune disorders, or implants and devices all benefit from wearing one. But in truth, anyone living with a medical condition can.
Why It Matters
These real stories show that medical IDs don’t just sit on your wrist — they work. They help ambulance crews, doctors, and nurses get you the right care faster. They ease stress in emergencies. They provide peace of mind every day.
The most important thing isn’t where your medical ID comes from — it’s that you wear one. Because when the unexpected happens, those few engraved words could make all the difference.
