MY Medi-Wallet and Road Safety

MY Medi-Wallet and Road SafetyPreparedness is part of road safety

Road safety is not only about how people drive, but it is also about being prepared for what happens if something goes wrong.

Important information when time matters most

In the event of a motor vehicle accident, first responders often need quick access to important medical and emergency information. If a person is injured, unconscious, confused or unable to speak for themselves, details such as medical aid information, blood type, allergies, chronic medication and emergency contacts may not be immediately available.

What MY Medi-Wallet does

MY Medi-Wallet is a simple and practical product designed to help keep this information visible and within reach. It attaches directly to a vehicle seatbelt and stores key medical and emergency details in one easy-to-access place.

Supporting emergency response

By placing this information on the seatbelt, MY Medi-Wallet helps make it easier for emergency personnel or bystanders to identify important details when time matters most. The product is not designed to replace medical care or emergency response, but rather to support the process by making relevant information easier to find.

A small product with a serious purpose

Simple, practical and easy to access

The benefit of MY Medi-Wallet is its simplicity. It does not require complicated technology, charging, passwords or access to a mobile phone. The information is stored physically with the driver or passenger, exactly where it may be needed in an emergency.

Road safety beyond the journey

From a road safety perspective, MY Medi-Wallet encourages drivers and passengers to think beyond the journey itself. It is a reminder that preparation matters, and that small steps can make a meaningful difference in an emergency situation.

The vision behind MY Medi-Wallet

The vision behind MY Medi-Wallet is to make essential medical and emergency information more accessible to road users, families, first responders and the wider community.

MY Medi-Wallet and Road Safety

Medical information, within reach when it matters most

In an emergency, the smallest details can make the biggest difference.

Most of us do not think about what would happen if we were involved in an accident and could not speak for ourselves. We carry important information in our wallets, handbags or phones, but in a serious situation, that information may not be easy to find.

MY Medi-Wallet is a simple, practical way to keep key medical and emergency details close at hand. It clips directly onto your vehicle seatbelt and holds important information such as your medical aid details, blood type, allergies, chronic medication and emergency contacts.

If first responders arrive at an accident scene, every minute matters. Having this iNformation visible and accessible may help them understand who you are, who to contact, and what medical details could be important before treatment begins.

It is not something anyone wants to think about, but it is something worth preparing for. MY Medi-Wallet is small, affordable and easy to use, yet it carries information that could matter when you need it most.
