Abstract: The present invention is a traditional, yet more stylish, medical identification bracelet which has electronic circuitry to display detailed, patient medical information. The bracelet is formatted using a programming station (PC) into which is entered up to 16 k bits of medical & personal information about an individual. The programming station transfers the formatted information to the bracelet via an infra-red interface device. The medical identification bracelet has an LCD view screen which displays, in a scrolling fashion, data when a button is pushed. The information may be scrolled in either direction, paused and set to free run. All information is available at the display. The character size is selected to be visible to the unaided eye. The display is illuminated for low light reading.
