Safety, health and peace of mind are becoming more and more important to people, whether you live alone, are concerned about your spouse or have a family to protect.

ICE-ID.me (“In Case of Emergency Identify Me”) provides premium, affordable, designer products, each customized with a unique identifier which uses innovative technology to speed up the response time necessary to save your life when it matters most.

The ICE-ID.me system works with a free app on your phone and is linked to your profile. This shares your health information with emergency services and medical personnel when needed.

If you and your loved ones are members of ICE-ID.me, your annual emergency preparedness protection plan includes the following:

1. A network of more than 3 500 ambulances. It also covers road and air transport, trauma counselling, exhumation and repatriation of mortal remains up to 30 000 km or R80 000 (whichever comes first).

2. Access to our nationwide network of over 2 500 armed response vehicles and powerful AI algorithms. They will automatically deploy the closest unit to the last location (sent by your device), to ensure that lightning-fast response units respond to you when you feel unsafe or threatened.

3. All your health information is in one place, which means easy access with any smartphone by emergency responders, medical personnel or even colleagues.

4. Smart protection for your loved ones by scanning the QR code or tapping the NFC (“Near Field Communication”) on one of our ICE-ID.me bracelets. Save your medical history, allergies, recent surgeries and more. Provide paramedics with quick access to your medical profile.

5. ICE-ID.me emergency cards and wristbands enable rapid access to emergency care, security services and essential health information. Wristbands can also be scanned to locate you and email your location. But it's not just for you: the technology can be used to provide a range of secure, accessible solutions for you, your loved ones, your pets, your business and your assets.

Give your loved ones the gift of peace and protection this Christmas.
