  • Publication number: 20110040578
    Abstract: A method, system and device for storing and displaying medical records with a particular user. Once the medical records are inputted into a database, that information would be transferred to a portable device carried by or provided in close proximity with the user. Removable insulating strips are provided to complete an electrical circuit between one or more batteries and a circuit board. Once a circuit is created, contact will also be maintained between the one or more batteries and the circuit board. However, a timer is employed to power down the circuit, if an input button has not been engaged for a predetermined period of time. A second embodiment would allow a user in contact with a particular organization to include the user's identification number in a first relational database and the medical data in a second relational database.
