You don't want to wear any jewelry - including medical alert jewelry - all the time

So don't.

You may not like jewelry. Or you may love jewelry, but loathe the thought of wearing one certain piece all the time. In either case, a little ingenuity can have you enjoying the protection of medical alert jewelry without the aggravation.

The medical watch solution

Do you already wear a watch when you go out? Add a tag and your current watch can do double-duty as medical alert jewelry. Or replace your current watch with one designed to provide medical alerts:

The Cadex reminder watch has an emergency alert database that stores your critical health information, including medical conditions, medications, allergies, your name, blood type and more.

Because medics are trained to check for medical alert jewelry at pulse points, medical information on a watch would likely be found faster than information on a key ring or purse. However, information anywhere (in a bag or on a shoe, etc.) is much better than not having a medical ID to be found. Or having a medical alert bracelet languishing unused in a drawer at home. Find an option you will use.

The multiple medical IDs solution

Do you like jewelry, but hate the thought of wearing the same piece all the time? This problem can be handily solved by getting several medical IDs. That way, depending upon the occasion and your mood, you can select what you wish to wear from your "medical alert wardrobe."

Doubtless not the cheapest option, but a fun one!
