Peace of Mind for Parents of Children with Invisible Illnesses

Alfie Whitehead • April 26, 2024

Collective understanding around disabilities has developed greatly in recent years. We now know that not all conditions are as visually apparent as people once believed they were. Many people suffer from ‘invisible illnesses’ which are not always obvious to the external observer. Of the 61 million Americans with physical and mental ailments, it is estimated that 10 percent are afflicted by so-called invisible illnesses. Such conditions include cognitive processing disorders, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, depression and allergies.


Invisible illnesses can be of great concern to parents when they have to spend extended periods of time away from their children. While no-one wants to spend time away from their kids, it is a simple reality that they must go to school and eventually they will think it's much cooler to spend time with their friends than their parents. Two conditions which can be cause for concern, autism and allergies, will be discussed here. 


Autism is a broad term that refers to a spectrum of disorders caused by differences in the brain. Typically, these disorders are characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. Estimates suggest that as many as 1 of every 36 children in the US are dealing with autism of some kind. Given that autism is characterized by difficulties with social settings and communication, it is not hard to imagine the challenges it may present in a medical emergency. My Angel Alert Band can help to mitigate these difficulties in two key ways. For one, it will immediately alert a first responder that your child has autism allowing the medical professional to adapt their behaviors and communication style accordingly. Furthermore, it will communicate your child's essential medical information when they are unable to do so themselves. This will eliminate the risk of medical mistakes such as the administration of the wrong medication leading to harmful or even fatal drug-drug interactions. 


Allergies are another prevalent invisible illness within the US with around 18 percent of children being afflicted. Severe allergies are extremely concerning in part because they are so easily provoked. For example, a peanut allergy can be triggered by as little as 1/44,000 of a peanut kernel. When triggered, children can enter into anaphylaxis, a severe life-threatening reaction to an allergen. Anaphylaxis must be treated immediately and appropriately or it can be fatal. This is where the revolutionary chip technology of My Angel Alert Band can be life-saving. Upon arriving, first responders will immediately be privy to your child's specific medical needs, providing them with exactly the treatment they need. 


My Angel Alert Band can be the angel that watches over your child when you can't be there to speak for them.

My Angel Alert Band is a revolutionary piece of wearable technology, born out of the need to save lives.
By Alfie Whitehead August 22, 2024
Our mission at My Angel Alert Band was born out of the deeply harrowing reality echoed in a recent John Hopkins study. It was suggested by this study that, annually within the US, 250,000 people lose their lives as a result of medical errors. Although medical error is not stated on death certificates nor official rankings, this figure makes it the third leading cause of death in America preceded only by heart disease and cancer. Other studies would argue that this number is in-fact a conservative estimate and the real figure is actually closer to 440,000. At My Angel Alert Band, we firmly believe that either estimate is 100 percent too high. Therefore, our mission is conceptually simple and yet nonetheless vital. To distribute our innovative wearable technology nationally and globally, reaching every person who has critical medical information, visible or invisible, that needs to be known in an emergency situation. This will, thereby, drastically reduce the instances of medical error that are induced by misinformation and non-information. My Angel Alert Band allows no room for medical error by quickly and efficiently communicating all of a patient’s vital health information to the relevant medical professionals at the tap of a phone. Whether they are first responders, EMTs or doctors, My Angel Alert Band’s QR code technology guarantees that no one is expected to deliver life-saving treatment blind.  If the information shared here resonates with you, then supporting our noble mission from home is simple and effortless. Simply purchase a My Angel Alert Band for yourself and anybody else that you love dearly. Then rest easy in the knowledge that, should there be a medical emergency, you and your loved ones will be protected. Everyone deserves to have an Angel watching over them and no one deserves to be a victim of medical mistakes.
