It seems like the best way to handle this information is to use RFID chips on existing MedicAlert bracelets/necklaces. You would still have the existing engraved information on the bracelet, but in addition, you can have much more information stored on the RFID chip. For instance, in addition to the fact that you're diabetic and have epilepsy, you can also record that you have had 3 heart attacks last year and triple bypass surgery 6 months ago, record your Doctor's name and contact information, next of kin/emergency contact information and anything else that is pertinent. A simple scanner that only costs a few hundred dollars can quickly and easily read the information. Heck, they could start building the scanner into monitors to automatically scan the information as soon as it comes within range of the patient and display a symbol on the screen to let you know there is more available information than heart rate/BP/O2 Sat, and heart rhythm. RFID chips can be made and information written on them for next to nothing. It is extremely easy to update information (such as surgeries, major traumas, changing medical conditions, etc. Add a RFID encoder to every hospital, ambulance company and GPs office and you have an additional source of revenue as well. Charge 5 bucks or less to update information on the chip for each patient that wants it and you end up with up to date information, easier medical care and new revenue for existing healthcare providers.

Lightweight Waterproof/BBP proof Breathable flexible Durable Safety toe and shank I like the idea of a side zipper, maybe like motorcycle boots with a flap that covers the zipper. Speaking of motorcycle boots, some of them have very good ankle protection and anti-twist properties. Most are waterproof. Ideally, it would be nice to have zipper vents that open when you aren't worried about BSI (in-between calls for instance). Even if the boots are a little bit warmer when all the vents are closed, being able to open the vents and cool off your feet the rest of the time would make up for it. Obviously make it in a variety of heights for different preferences. I like a hiking boot style upper, but much prefer the fit and flexibility of tennis shoe lowers. Unless a new boot is drastically different in terms of features, performance or price, there is no point in even making it.
