UTAG™ is a simple yet innovative product developed by SAS soldiers to carry easily accessed important personal details in the event of an emergency.The unique and durable aluminium Dog Tag design houses state of the art software incorporated onto a sleek and stylish USB ‘stick’. The UTAG™ electronically stores photo ID, multiple emergency contact details, blood type, donor information, religion, key medical history and GP contact details. The software collates this information in a format that protects against identity fraud.

A unique language translation function enables essential medical information tobe accessed in any major European country when travelling outside of the UK. UTAG™ incorporates the international medical symbol of the snake and the staff into the design, and the letters ICE – meaning ‘in case of emergency’, that is fast becoming recognised as an emergency symbol.

The storage of important medical history could be vital to the quick and effective treatment delivered by emergency staff. If the patient is incapacitated, emergency personnel can immediately determine the correct course of treatment, especially if the UTAG™ wearer suffers from diabetes, is pregnant, suffers from any allergies, or is currently taking a prescribed course of medication.

Key features include:

  • Lightweight aluminium dog tag design
  • Personal medical information
  • Photo ID
  • Emergency contacts
  • Donor status
  • Blood type
  • Current medication
  • GP contact details
  • Language selection function
  • Password and fraud protection

UTAG™ USB interface is PC-compatible and the bespoke software has been designed to be completely user-friendly, quick to upload and easy to accesswhen required. Taking up just 1mb of memory space on the 128mb USB ‘stick’,the UTAG™ doubles as a valuable platform for the transfer and storage of other important data.

UTAG™ received universal recognition throughout the motorcycle industry at itsinitial launch. It has received the full backing of the Chris Jones Fund, a charity recognised as the driving force behind providing additional safety equipment within British Motorcycle Sport.

The UTAG will be available towards the middle of March this year, retailing for just £19.99. It will distributed by Bike It and as such it will be available from all of their stockists, nationwide.
