VANCOUVER, Canada — Antonia Sinn is very familiar with the MedicAlert bracelet. The 13-year-old won the MedicAlert Student Design Competition with her “Canadiana” design.

The sporty MedicAlert bracelet depicts a handful of colourful maple leaves and is available for sale online. “People are always saying how they’re proud to be Canadian and I wanted something everyone could relate to,” says Sinn. “And the maple leaf is on the Canada flag so I decided to make that the main focus of my design.”

In a health emergency, a simple bracelet can make a difference between life and death.
