Stat Kids (formerly AllergiK ID), Not Just for Kids with Food Allergies

Filed in archive Gadgets and Tools Against Allergies on July 26, 2007

Originally created to identify and protect kids with food allergies - Stat Kidsâ„¢ (formerly AllergiK ID) - has broaden its mission and expanded its product lines by now working to address the needs of children with other health issues (i.e. diabetes, asthma and Celiac disease).

Stat Kids offers solutions... From child-sized, comfortable, red silicone wristbands that boldly state each child's health issue to bright red lunch bags that clearly label the specific health alert when mealtime is a high-risk activity.

Parents will be relieved to know that when a substitute teacher enters their child's classroom, the Stat Kids 8-1/2" X 11" poster clearly and quickly identifies him by name, photo and specific food allergy or other health concern.

For children who require emergency medication, such as an Epi-Pen or inhaler, the Stat Kids bright red, personalized travel pack stays with the teacher or caregiver at all times-on the playground, on a field trip, or in a school assembly.

Traditionally, schools have locked these treatments in classroom cabinets or in the nurse's office instead of having it with the child and available within seconds... when every second is critical.
