Flash stick stoped working before I could get all of the data loaded. Called and talked to representative. Returned flash stick and got a new one today. Seems to work OK, but for how long will this one last.

Software may or may not open automatically depending on your system configuration. If autorun not working, the provider will have to search for the correct file which is not named intuitively. Potential time-waster in emergency. Once open, hard to read (gray font on gray background). Thin, cheap plastic USB drive can be inserted upside-down (normal drive will not go in this way), so there is a 50/50 chance that it will be inserted the wrong way and the provider will likely assume it doesn't work. This is a HORRIBLE product that gives the user a false sense of security and should be taken off the market.[...]For what you get, this thing is obscenely overpriced. One star only because zero is not an option.

Every thing about this is small. I have thin wrists for an adult male, but this is very snug and over time is uncomfortable. Looks more like an older child's bracelet. The cheap plastic USB drive has a miserly capacity of 256 MB which is plenty for the included software because it is very limited and doesn't even support color. So when the medical summary screen opens (if autorun is enabled on the computer) the pertinent information appears in a small gray font that is a little darker than the gray background which is not easy to read. If autorun is not enabled, the user will first have to figure out which file to open. This is not what you want if speed is critical.

If you want to keep a more comprehensive record with scans of consult reports, hospital discharge summaries, EKGs, etc. you're likely to run out of space. Crucial information like medication allergies should be highlighted in red, but as mentioned color is not supported.

Bottom line, great concept very poorly executed and another example of what we lose when outsourcing manufacturing to China. To add insult to injury, considering what you get, this thing is wildly overpriced.

I gave this one star because zero is not an option.

Way to small for my husband's wrist -- great idea, poorly executed. We'll have to return.

I never leave home without wearing this Medical Alert bracelet ~ gives me peace of mind. The software application is totally user-friendly (even with Vista), screen automatically pops up when you plug in the USB and easily updated. I highly recommend this product.
