USB EMERGENCY ID

In an emergency situation, when you’re injured or unconscious, first responders need to know some basic information. Do you have any medical conditions? Are you allergic to any drugs? Who are your emergency contacts? EPIC-id is a simple bracelet with a built-in flash drive to store your health and contact information. The red cross symbol lets others know that EPIC-id is a medical bracelet, so emergency personnel can quickly access your personal information, medical history, and insurance information. It requires no batteries, passwords, or Internet connection. Digital emergency forms come pre-loaded on EPIC-id, making it simple to input your personal medical information and make updates as often as necessary. There’s no software to download and no subscription fees. EPIC-id sells for about $40.

FOLDING KEYBOARD

Touch screens are great, but some applications are just easier when you can type on a real keyboard. If you have a tablet or a phone that works with Bluetooth, check out Microsoft’s Universal Foldable Keyboard. It’s thin, it’s light, and it folds up for easy travel and storage. Like the name suggests, the Universal Foldable Keyboard is compatible with a wide variety of devices. You can pair with two mobile devices at once—any iPad, iPhone, Android device, Windows tablet, or Windows Phone—and switch instantly between them with a single touch. When you’re done, simply close it to turn it off and you’re ready to go. The Universal Foldable Keyboard sells for about $100.
