The Guardian - Medical jewellery moves out of the 1970s and into the 21st century

An ex-SAS soldier has come up with a flash way to store personal medical data

USB Flash drives are being touted as the newest way of storing vital personal medical information, such as allergies. Phil Campion, an ex-SAS soldier, dreamed up the idea - which he has dubbed the UTag - while serving in Afghanistan, where he'd sewn a Flash drive containing his ID into his clothes, just in case anything happened to him. The UTag is a memory stick disguised as a dog tag that can be worn as jewellery or attached to a key fob. The robust aluminium casing is stamped with the recognised emergency symbols of a snake on a staff and ICE (standing for "in case of emergency"), enabling emergency services to know instantly what it is.





UTAG recently attended the European Motorcycle show in Cologne and has started to attract a lot of positive European press. These two articles recently appeared in some German motorcycle magazines.



LIAM GALLAGHER is backing a brilliant new fashion accessory that could save lives on wild nights out.

The OASIS frontman, pictured with the new invention backstage at a recent gig, was introduced to UTag by his head of security.

It’s a genius device — a dogtag with a memory chip holding your address, next of kin and important medical information.

Former SAS soldier Phil Campion, a pal of the Oasis camp, had the idea when in Afghanistan and Iraq.

He said: “Authorities can get in touch with your loved ones straight away. Liam was keen for his kids to wear them.”

The tag costs £24.99 from utagice.com. Phil is making a donation to Sun-backed charity Help For Heroes for every one sold.











Richard Washington - “I purchased my U Tag last month, not knowing how soon it was going to be put to good use.
 Was in Germany when had a malfunction front brake, which resulted in me spread over the road.
Medics and heli turned up and was taken to Frankfurt hospital where my U Tag impressed the doctors and nurses.
So big thanks to you”

Dave Smith At The Gearbox, Poole.

"Early Hours of the 22nd July I found myself down at Bournemouth hospitals A+E department with severe stomach pains as a result of an operation I had over 18 months ago.

Being unable to string much of a sentance together due to the pain, I gave the nurses my I.C.E. dogtags and it told them the information they needed to know instantly - just plug it in to the computer. Brilliant idea, within five minutes they had all the info they needed on personal details, allergies, etc and the Morphine was coming my way....What a result!...Would recommend the I.C.E devices to anyone..So easy to use and well worth their weight. Best money I've spent in a while."

 

 

Bike It representative Glenn Thompson presented Chris Vermulen with his personal UTAG at the Motostyle Dainese Proshop. Chris, who is very impressed with UTAG, thinks it is a fantastic idea for all riders. He wears his UTAG for all motorcycle related uses.
