Abstract: A system and method for issuance of a financial network-based payment card (generally known as a “payment card” or a “credit card”) almost instantaneously after application, wherein an applicant applies for a credit card by entering data into a data entry system using a handheld electronic device, advantageously by filling in a plurality of predefined forms in a computer-based data entry system. The applicant's data is sent via a data network to a central decision center, which approves or disapproves the application. If the application is approved, data is generated, a payment card is activated, and a result of the determination to issue is sent to the handheld electronic device.

Abstract: A system for automatically correlating a patient's symptom with medication side effects includes: a computing device for use by medical personnel to input and display data; a first database including an electronic health record (EHR) for the patient; a second database including Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) data regarding side effects of medications; and a server configured to receive information from the computing device regarding the symptom; retrieve a list of the patient's medications from the first database; obtain a record of recognized side effects of those medications from the second database; and transmit a message to the computing device regarding medications and side effects correlated with the symptom.
