Humetrix's ICEBlueButton "in case of emergency" app at iTunes and Google Play

LAS VEGAS, USA: Anyone with a smartphone can now ensure that emergency responders can see their health history, and loved ones get notified if they are in an accident or face a medical emergency. Humetrix, a leading provider of consumer healthcare apps, will be at the Digital Health Summit at CES (Booth 26327, LVCC, South Hall).

ICEBlueButton, an "In Case of Emergency" (ICE) app, available for iOS and Android devices, that ensures that EMTs, ER doctors, or even good Samaritans can immediately access patients' health history and contact information in an emergency situation. ICEBlueButton is available for download at iTunes and Google Play.

The ICEBlueButton app allows anyone to easily create an ICE record on their smartphone and generate a QR code that can be saved on the lock screen, or printed on stickers or magnets. In addition to providing critical information, when activated, ICEBlueButton will automatically generate an email alert to the users' emergency contacts.

In an emergency situation, medical personnel or attending bystanders can scan the ICEBlueButton QR code with any broadly available QR code scanner and quickly learn if they have any medical conditions, drug allergies, or other pertinent medical information.

"For parents, travelers or sports enthusiasts, ICEBlueButton provides a new level of peace of mind," said Dr. Bettina Experton, CEO of Humetrix. "Technology has made it possible to completely change the way we approach healthcare. With ICEBlueButton and other mobile medical apps, anyone can take control of their health records and healthcare, and ensure that the most up to date and critical health information is available to doctors - whether during a scheduled health care encounter or in an emergency."
