When Enroling with MedicAlert® the issue of patient privacy is dealt with up front.

can see who accessed their information and when.
Where unauthorized or inappropriate access is suspected, complaints can be laid with the Privacy commissioner ensuring a transparent and integrity focused process is followed.

certificated and encrypted online access to its Patient Vitals - Electronic Health Records by the New Zealand Emergency Ambulance Call Centres.
