I have read elsewhere that EMTs rarely have time to scan QR codes and have a strong preference for the bracelets that have easily readable diagnoses.

I wear a simple bracelet with conditions and contact numbers. Since our rural volunteer, low funded, EMT situation does not have the QR code capabilities, my bracelet is crucial. It helped me recently when I had a syncopal event while grocery shopping, as I could not talk. The ER physician was able to accurately assist me. This is a good conversation! Thanks!

I have a necklace tag as well.

I never remember to wear it. A medical ID is only useful if it's there.

I figure either the EMTs will scan my watch tag or it'll help in the ER.
