Short Version: <\/strong>A $40 digital ID card that fits in your wallet and holds all of your emergency medical information on a 1GB flip-out USB stick.<\/p>\n

Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from the implied use for the 911 Medical ID Card \u2014 namely as something for medical professionals to reference in the case of an emergency — having all of your medical information digitized and saved in one place isn\u2019t a bad idea overall. And this $40 wallet-friendly card isn\u2019t a bad way to keep everything together.<\/p>\n

You plug the flip-out USB connector into your computer (Windows only, unfortunately) and up pops the 911 Medical ID software. It\u2019s basically a series of forms with the following tabbed headings: Personal, Conditions, Medications, Allergies, Doctors\/Dentists, Surgeries\/Treatments, Insurance, and Family History\/Social History.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The forms are easy to use and all the information can be saved online in case you misplace the card. You can also print the information out as well.<\/p>\n

The card itself is pretty thin, although it\u2019s still a bit thicker than the cards you\u2019re normally used to keeping in your wallet so you\u2019ll likely have to give it its own pouch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for the interface, it\u2019s nothing spectacular but, hey, this is medical software we\u2019re talking about. As we all know, the medical industry has never once employed a UI specialist.<\/p>\n

Aside from holding your medical information, you can also use the extra storage on the card to hold images of your EKGs, MRIs, and X-Rays if your doctor\u2019s made those available to you in digital form. You can store the files protected or unprotected under the \u201cMy Files\u201d section. And if you\u2019re the head of your household, you can put all your family members\u2019 information (up to 10 people) on the same card, too, under the \u201cMy Family Profiles\u201d section.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 911 Medical ID Card represents an affordable way to collect all of your medical information in once place. The online backup function is a huge plus and the ability to add extra family members and files are added bonuses as well. The interface is a bit dated and the lack of Mac compatibility is unfortunate but the whole idea is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

The bigger issue will be whether or not emergency medical professionals will be able to easily access the information. Without having a computer handy at the site of an accident, for instance, your information\u2019s locked up until you get to the hospital. And even then, you\u2019re relying on someone to plug a strange USB device into one of the hospital\u2019s computers. Aside from that, though, this is a pretty easy way to carry all of your vital health information around with you.<\/p>\n

The 911 Medical ID card is available for $40. There\u2019s also a new 911 Medical ID Medallion that can be worn around the neck and has 2GB of built-in storage for the same price.<\/p>\n
