Abstract: In part, the disclosure relates to an apparatus, system, and method for responding to emergency needs of a user with one or more responses including contacting an emergency contact for a user in response to a biometric identifier. Other responses can include retrieving stored medical information for use by a first responder, insurance provider, medical or healthcare professional, or other user or entity. Emergency data retrieval software can be activated on a per user based upon a biometric scan of the user to trigger one or more data transmission or retrieval events such as medical file retrieval and emergency contacts being automatically called or messaged.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention relates to methods and systems for using secure biometric parameters to remotely access electronic databases while rendering the underlying user data, such as patient data, anonymous. Thus, a member of a population, such as person suffering with a disease or infection, can anonymously enroll for treatment or research using a biometric identifier as the sole method of tracking such an anonymous member of a population of interest. The actual research data collected, albeit anonymously, can be acquired at remote locations where the disease is spreading and analyzed at a facility remote from the population of interest. In part, one embodiment of the invention relates to a biometrically secure method of accessing a remote electronic database transmits electronic records using unique biometric features to ensure security.
