VITAband

Two long-time runners, good friends and entrepreneurs were fed up with stuffing money and ID’s uncomfortably into their running sneakers. When ingenuity and technology took over the duo became the brainchild behind a new product called VITAband, the first in a series of pieces, combines technology and the safety of a personal health network into a convenient, wearable accessory.
Launching in September 2009, VITAband is a combination of design and function that conveniently and securely stores emergency information remotely and offers access to money by contactless payment – all in one streamlined device. VITAband is a sleek and durable unisex bracelet designed with standard emergency medical iconography that alerts first responders there is crucial emergency information available in the event of an emergency. The bracelet bears a unique VITAnumber that connects emergency professionals to vital information such as personal identification, blood type, allergies and current medications in the owner’s personal profile via the 800-number located on the band. All information from medical history to payment details is stored in the Personal VITAnetwork and is completely controlled by the owner through www.VITAband.net.
