  • Publication number: 20130262155
    Abstract: A system for decentralized collection and distribution of medical information through mobile devices. End users interact with the system through a software application installed on a mobile device. Data entered to the application is synced to a server that backs up the data and serves to populate a database of personal health data for analysis. Results of such analyses create value through medical management and informational intervention strategies tailored to meet evidence-based needs and preferences. Based on the analyses, end users and clinicians have the ability to visualize dynamics in health metrics relative to thresholds and to assess the efficacy of therapies and trends in vital signs/labs/vital functions.

  • Publication number: 20110288874
    Abstract: A terminal device is provided for accessing an animal's medical record, which is stored in part at two or more locations, in compliance with a biometric authentication protocol. When a person accesses the medical record, a biometric identifier is collected from the person and input to the terminal device. The terminal device analyzes the biometric identifier and grants access to the medical data stored thereon when the biometric identifier matches that associated with the medical record. In addition, the terminal device communicates with a remote server for accessing the medical data stored thereon. Access to the data stored on the remote server also requires the biometric authentication.

  • Patent number: 7609155
    Abstract: An RFID transponder on a person or animal provides the health care or security personnel with the critical information when the personnel employs a reader terminal capable of reading the RFID transponder. The transponder, after being interrogated by the reader, supplies the critical data such as name, blood type, allergies, directives, medicines, and emergency contact numbers. The reader immediately displays such critical information on its screen. The RFID tag can substantiate that it belongs to its owner. This identification process can involve biometric analysis. The reader terminal downloads additional data from a server and the additional data is presented on a reader terminal's screen. The server queries the wireless carrier for reader terminal's location data, correlates the reader location data with hospital location data, and sends the critical information to the nearby hospitals.
