| Description | Communication barriers can lead to treatment delays or contribute to medical errors. In an emergency, VeriMed can provide healthcare professionals with a patient's name and pertinent personal information when he or she can’t speak, can’t remember, or is unconscious.
VeriMed features VeriChip’s patented, FDA-cleared, human-implantable RFID microchip. Unlike traditional forms of identification, the VeriChip can’t be lost, stolen, misplaced, or counterfeited. Because it's implanted under the skin, it's always there when you need it regardless of where other kinds of identification might be.
Using a handheld scanner, healthcare professionals are able to securely access a patient's unique VeriChip ID number which can be looked up in a designated secure healthcare information database, allowing them to immediately take the safest course of action.
By "speaking" for patients with chronic illnesses, VeriMed offers an empowering option to affected individuals. The application can help these types of at-risk individuals obtain a comparable level of care by rapidly and accurately furnishing important or even lifesaving information when and if they are unable to do so.
