SAFEBAND

Medical-use wristband that protects personal information

Going to the hospital, the patients are needed to wear plastic wristbands which provide their personal information in order to prevent misdiagnose. When they leave the hospital, some patients take off the wristband and directly threw it away, while some others want to erase the information but fail. Hence the personal informations are kept on the wristband, causing safety issues. Safeband is a medical-use wristband that can be destroyed into three pieces when the patient takes it off at the same time.
