Introduction

ResQr MedTag for iPhone and iPad follows a very simple concept, providing you with a single convenient place wherein you can store your emergency information, including things like medications, allergies, insurance information, and even emergency contacts.

I’ve seen a few of these apps in the Medical and Health & Fitness categories of the App Store and would definitely recommend one to those of you who do suffer from some medical condition that may be missed or otherwise misinterpreted by others if you’re out in public and the worst should happen.

Store Your Medical Information

This app, quite simply, gives you everything you need to compile a comprehensive record of your emergency information for when you need it most, with sections for adding your medical conditions and allergies so that you can be treated appropriately in the event of an emergency.

It’s also good to see that you can add information about any medications you’re taking because this could be the difference between life and death if you end up being incorrectly treated in the emergency room.

Add Insurance Information

ResQr MedTag also includes fields where you can input the contact information for your local hospital and doctor, so if you frequently see a specialist of some kind then this could also be very important.

What’s more, this app enables you to add details of your insurance policy with a contact phone number where applicable. If you end up becoming completely incapacitated then once again, this may be what helps you get the treatment you need.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Create a comprehensive record of your emergency information for when you need it most
• Add your medical conditions and allergies so that you can be treated in the event of an emergency
• Include full details of any medications you are currently talking
• Add contact information for your local hospital and/or doctor
• Provide details of your insurance policy with a contact phone number where applicable

Cons

• There appears to be a few issues with the stability of this app, with the most common complaint being that it is extremely prone to intermittent crashing; I’m hoping the developer will pay attention to the user feedback and address any bugs accordingly

Final Words

ResQr MedTag definitely isn’t the most stable iPhone and iPad app of its kind, which is a little worrying considering the purpose it has been designed to serve.

Having said that, this app does only cost $0.99 so it hopefully shouldn’t be too much of a problem for you to check it out before relying on it fully. Either way, I would definitely suggest comparing it with a few alternatives before making your final decision.
