ICE
Problem – Have you ever considered how emergency responders will gain access to critical information about you, your next of kin and your current health care? Have you got your most important information stored in one place that is readily accessible and known to your loved ones?
Research / Statistics – Vodaphone research suggested in 2015 that fewer than 25% of people carry any details of emergency contacts leaving first responders with the difficult task of identifying a person and contacting loved ones. There 169 301 deaths in Australia in 2019, Lifeline reported 3318 people completed suicide, National Road Safety Strategy reported 1106 road deaths and Safe Work Australia reported 183 workers lost their lives at work. Another 114 435 claims were made for compensation for injuries or disease sustained in the workplace. Tellthem4Me® survey results indicated that:
- 88% of respondents did not carry a paper-based list of emergency contacts in their wallet or purse.
- 52% carried no information about existing health conditions or medications.
TellThem4Me® Solution – This non-member and member section allows users to record essential information that is transferred to both their ICE Card and ICE File. The ICE Card contains information about their next of kin, health conditions, allergies, and medications. This information could be the difference between life and death especially during the ‘golden hour’ following serious trauma.
The ICE Card can be printed at home and placed in a wallet or purse or in the future all users can purchase a plastic card for their wallet or purse which compliments ICE contacts on mobile phones (which can sometimes be inaccessible due to loss of phone, locked or damages phones).
The ICE File provides a shortened version of a full membership and includes the most important information from All About Me, My Family, My Health Care, My Insurance, My Estate and My Wishes
Additionally, as a member, users are able to record personal information in relation to the following topics:
