CARD AND CARD READERS TO IMPROVE STORAGE AND SHARING OF HEALTHCARE INFORMATION

Abstract

The invention is a system for managing patient medical information, comprising a medical identity card, a mobile reader, and a stationary reader. The card holds various data types, with basic data visibly printed, less sensitive data printed in UV-visible code, and highly sensitive data stored on a chip. The card may also include a reflective surface and a locating device. The mobile reader, carried by healthcare personnel, emits UV light to read the card's code. The stationary reader, typically located at a doctor's office, connects to a computer to read the card's chip or access a remote database. It includes security measures to ensure only authorized individuals can access the information.
