EMI 911 rCard Could be Your Lifesaver

November 20th, 2006

The faster doctors and EMTs have access to your medical records the faster they can help save your life in an emergency. We have looked at USB flash drive bracelets before here at Everything USB and I always felt that they might be unreadable in the field in some instances. A new company called EMI has a product that might be the answer, the 911 rCard. The card can store a medication and health history as well as emergency contact numbers that it displays on its self-powered LCD screen. No computers are needed to retrieve the data stored on the card. The card can also help patients themselves keep track of medications and other health data. Information is updated via USB with costs for the system being $79.95 for all needed items. A $20 yearly fee is charged after the first year to store and backup the data on the card via the users PC.
