AllergiK ID Relaunches as Stat Kids to Help Identify and Protect Children with Food Allergies, Asthma, Diabetes and Other Health Issues
After an overwhelming response to its initial product line, Stat Kids (formerly AllergiK ID) broadens its mission and expands its product line. Though originally created to identify and protect kids with food allergies, its now working to address the needs of children with other health issues, including Diabetes, Asthma and Celiac Disease.
Philadelphia, PA, July 26, 2007 --(PR.com)-- AllergiK ID, a company initially created to help parents identify and protect their food-allergic children, has broadened its mission. After countless requests from parents of children with various health issues, among them Diabetes, Asthma, Seizure Disorders and Celiac Disease, AllergiK ID is, effective immediately, Stat Kids (www.statkids.com).
Robin Davison, founder of Stat Kids commented: “For us, simply letting teachers know our son had a food allergy was not enough. What keeps him safe is the constant reminder of his specific food allergies. From its inception, the goals of our product line were to quickly and clearly identify kids by their specific food allergies and keep life-saving medication accessible at all times.”
Parents of children with food allergies, Celiac Disease and chronic medical issues struggle to alert teachers, caregivers and even other parents to their child’s particular needs, especially as a new school year approaches. Stat Kids offers solutions... From child-sized, comfortable, red silicone wristbands that boldly state each child’s health issue to bright red lunch bags that clearly label the specific health alert when mealtime is a high-risk activity.
Parents will be relieved to know that when a substitute teacher enters their child’s classroom, the Stat Kids 8-1/2” X 11” poster clearly and quickly identifies him by name, photo and specific food allergy or other health concern.
For children who require emergency medication, such as an Epi-Pen or Inhaler, the Stat Kids bright red, personalized travel pack stays with the teacher or caregiver at all times--on the playground, on a field trip, or in a school assembly. Traditionally, schools have locked these treatments in classroom cabinets or in the nurse's office instead of having it with the child and available within seconds... when every second is critical.
Stat Kids remains committed to partnering with parents, school systems and health care providers to make available the most innovative and effective tools to protect young children. For more information, visit www.statkids.com or call (610) 667-5877.
