The same question, I regularly ask. Why know or CARE, what others choose to do. I think people can be chipped as is done for pets. What is the chance that a medical tech would know to look for that or have the equipment to read it. Many have all their important information on a cell phone. After taking your wallet, with your money and ID a mugger will take your cell phone. Perhaps, one with their left hand and the other with their right hand.

Because others have ideas I haven't thought of yet and have experience that I could benefit from. The only way I would learn about that is by asking.

For the OP: I do not feel my current health requires paying for a medical alert subscription. I almost always have my phone with me and have emergency information stored there. I also always carry my driver's license and my Villages ID; my hope is that between the two of those and the information on my phone someone would be able to reach my emergency contact.

If I were to fall in my house and injure myself such that I could not reach my phone then I would be in trouble. At this point in time I believe the risk of that happening is very low.
