I saw an interesting post over on The Healthcare IT Guy Blog regarding a portable EHR called MiCARD. Basiccly it appears to be a modifed USB drive that looks like a credit card and can display your medical information on a smal LCD screen when activated.
Clicking through to the manufacturer’s site I found the following info:
Having up-to-date personal medical information immediately available to medical professionals could save your life in an emergency situation. MiCARD is the size of a credit card, and only slightly thicker. Once your personal medical data is loaded on your MiCARD, it is easily carried in your wallet or purse. The MiCARD system includes two vital components: private and secure online storage for your medical data with NoMoreClipboard.com, and the portable MiCARD.
Your MiCARD carries the following kinds of information:
- Critical Medical Conditions
- Personal Photo
- Blood Type
- Physician Information
- Medications & Dosages
- Allergies
- Insurance Information
- Eyeglass and Contact Lens Prescription Data
- Immunizations
In an emergency doctors, nurses, EMTs, police and fire dept. personnel push one of the two activation buttons on MiCARD to instantly access medical information on a high-resolution screen. No Internet or computer is needed to access your data during an emergency.
The specs for the MiCard are:
- Weight: 1.25 ounces
- Color Screen
- Screen Size: 2 inches
- Thickness: 1/8th inch
- Dimensions: 3.5 inches X 2 inches
- Rechargeable Battery
- USB Port
