## What is MedicAlert UK?

The MedicAlert App allows you to view and share your full MedicAlert digital medical record, including medical conditions, medications, allergies, implants, emergency contacts, NHS number and hospital details, all in one place. 

MedicAlert UK is a membership service with an annual subscription. We save lives by retaining members’ vital medical information, and providing these crucial details in an emergency to healthcare and emergency professionals. This provides peace of mind to MedicAlert members, allowing them to remain active and maintain their physical and mental health. 

The app is designed to support your medical ID jewellery, which should be worn at all times, and is suitable for use at medical appointments where a reminder of your full medical record can support discussions. The information is downloadable in PDF format, which can then be shared via email or messaging apps, as necessary.
 
The App allows to you quickly and easily view: 

Personal details 
Full MedicAlert digital medical record 
1 x Emergency contact 
1 x Doctor 
1 x Hospital 

You can access both the MedicAlert member services or the MedicAlert emergency helpline via the app. 

As a MedicAlert member you can log in to this App at any time from your phone and view your vital medical information. The data available on the App is the same as that shown on your physical Wallet Card with no space limitations. 

This App is view only. You will need to access the MedicAlert website to manage your account, your medical record or make purchases. Our website can be easily accessed from the App. Changes made to your details in your main record will be automatically updated in the App.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-05-26, version 1.1*

Pointless should be a card in your wallet they will never find this app then they need user name & password to open it totally pointless & useless

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-04-01, version 1.1*

Crashes when I try to log in

### 1/5 — Not a wallet card!

*2023-08-24, version 1.1*

This is just an app, a single page one at that, not sure how this is of any benefit to users or emergency services. Waste of £4.99

### 2/5 — Wallet card

*2022-10-05, version 1.0*

The medic alert website calls this a virtual wallet card. To be this it needs to be in the Apple wallet.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-06-29, version 1.0*

I thought this would place a card in my Apple Wallet (like the NHS COVID App) but it merely populates a single page App on my telephone - not exactly prominent to find amongst all the other Apps in an emergency. I did write to MedicAlert to ask if this feature is being developed but did not even get a response
