The time is right for this device

James Ramsey's first business venture paid off, to say the least.

After selling his former company, Instant Technologies, for $43 million in 2007, Ramsey is knee-deep in another endeavor.

With Instant, Ramsey peddled drug test kits. This time he's pushing a combination of high-tech electronic medical records and the traditional medical ID bracelet.

His latest company is called ViVre Medical and it's betting the farm on a product called Lifeguard30, a small electronic device that stores medical information and ties into a 24-hour network called LifeSupport.

Device keeps medical info at hand

Lifesaving gadget

The Lifeguard30, a key-chain device that holds all your vital medical information, is the brainchild of a Portsmouth company, ViVre Medical. James Ramsey came up with the idea for it after his grandmother broke her hip during a visit to his parents' home in Norfolk and she was too shaken up to recall important medical details.

The information it can hold is more comprehensive than that stored on typical medical bracelets. The small gadget can contain 30 pages of information, including medical background, blood type, allergies, medications, an emergency contact, insurance information, along with any special notes about pets needing care. "It's designed to inform emergency personnel and doctors of your conditions when you can't," advises the company's literature.

Lifeguard30 is a new product out, specifically relevant to those with diabetes and other medical conditions. When EMS arrive at a scene, they have no way of knowing a patient's medical history. However, LifeGuard30 has just been introduced to solve this problem.

When James Ramsey’s grandmother broke her hip during a visit to his parent’s home in Norfolk, Va., she was so shaken and in too much pain to effectively relay the details of her medical history to the emergency room doctor.
