Personal object carrying medical details

Abstract

A personal object, particularly a watch, medal or bracelet, to be worn by an individual and bearing personal medical information about the individual. The object is designed so that the individual's confidential medical information is not visible from the exterior when the individual wears the object but can be readily found and understood by the staff of rescue agencies aiding the individual. The medical information is set out in standardized form on different sections of an indication surface (6) which is covered by an ID tag (5) that bears, in particular, information on the individual's identity. Each section of the indication surface (6) is covered by a removable tag portion (73) on the ID tag (5). If the individual has a medical risk indicated on one of the sections, the individual simply breaks the tag portion (73) covering that section to reveal the medical risk shown on that section through the ID tag. The existence of this risk is shown by means of a display device on the front face of the object, for example on the watch face in the case of a watch, and complementary data concerning the risk can be shown by the display device and by tabs (7-10) attached to the watch bracelet (3).
