Medical IDs, Minus the Shame. The only brand creating chic, minimalist, life-saving IDs that people actually want to wear. Founder T1D.
There are more than 30 million women living in the United States with life-threatening, chronic conditions. Medical ID bracelets make life safer for these women and should be worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But nobody wants to wear them.Â
Sarah Harmon - the creator of the Poppy Medical ID project - after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 1998, spent much of her teens and early 20s wearing her a visible reminder of disease on her wrist. It was painfully awkward, both physically and psychologically, having to explain the ugly, utilitarian bracelet that broadcast her disability to everyone she met. Why couldnât something functional, effective and medically essential also be beautiful?Â
Two years ago, Sarah quit her job in business development to start Poppy Medical, a company that would make medical ID bracelets that women (and children) actually wanted to wear. She enrolled in jewelry school, learned 3D printing and set up her supply chain. Now Poppy Medicalâs Kickstarter campaign is trying to raise funds for production and to take preorders for the bracelets. This a community driven campaign and the community is needed - Letâs make a difference!Â
