Severe allergies
You’ve explained it a hundred times.
The tag explains it the hundred-and-first, when you’re not there.
The risk is rarely at home. It is the birthday party, the sleepover, the new coach, the substitute teacher — every handoff where the details live in your head and nobody else’s.
The information exists. It just isn’t where it needs to be.
You sent the note. You told them at drop-off. Then the person who was listening goes home sick, a parent volunteer takes over, and the details are gone — what your child reacts to, what it looks like, where the auto-injector is, who to call.
Older kids can often speak for themselves. Younger ones cannot always be relied on to, and no child should have to argue their own case to an adult who is unsure.
A tag any adult can read in five seconds.
They hold a phone to it and the page opens: what your child is allergic to, where the medication is, and your number. It is information, plainly presented, for the person who happens to be standing there. It does not treat anything and it does not replace an emergency plan — it makes sure the plan you already have is legible to a stranger.
What the finder sees
You choose every field. Anything you leave blank simply is not shown.
- Their name
- Their allergens, listed plainly
- Where the auto-injector or medication is kept
- Your phone number, and a second contact
- Anything else you want an adult to know before they act
Questions people actually ask
Is this a medical device?
No. It is a tag that displays information you entered. It does not diagnose, monitor, treat or prevent anything, and it is not a substitute for an allergy action plan, an auto-injector or calling 911. Think of it as the emergency card in a wallet, except nobody has to know to look for it.
Who can see my child’s medical details?
Anyone who physically holds the tag and taps it — that is the whole point, and it is worth deciding deliberately. You control exactly which fields appear, so plenty of families list allergens and a phone number and nothing else. You can change what shows at any time.
We already have a medical alert bracelet.
Then you have the important part covered. The difference is space and currency: engraved metal fits a few words and is fixed forever, while a tag holds as much as you want and updates whenever the situation changes. Some families use both.
Looking for something else?
You can’t be at every drop-off.
You can make sure the adult who is has everything they need.
