Wearable device to identify medical emergencies and notify

An electronic battery-operated medical bracelet device that contains the technology to accurately detect collapse/fall or other medical emergencies, through the monitoring of the heart rate, oxygen saturation, heart rhythm, and patient input. The bracelet will also display the vital readings to the user if the readings return as abnormal, in an attempt to persuade the user to seek medical attention before it becomes worse. Once a medical emergency is detected, the device alerts surrounding people and paramedics of the emergency and distributes medical and personal information different for surrounding people and paramedics. This includes medical conditions, health insurance information, next of kin, etc. This information can be uploaded to the device's onboard memory drive and can share the information or steps to reach the information, through an onboard speaker system, Bluetooth pairing, and near-filled communication (NFC) to which paramedics have special access.
