Development of Wireless Electronic Information Carrier

Irvine Sensors Corporation (ISC) proposes to develop a "Wireless Personal Information Carrier" (WPIC) prototype with USB connectivity that meets the same form factor of existing military issue "Dog Tags" while maintaining the necessary security to support military medical requirements and doctor patient care information. Trauma care provisioning either in the battlefield or in residential neighborhoods is a time critical process. Multiple personnel may evaluate the same patient giving different prognosis based on the patient's current state and evaluator's point of view. Newer drugs being introduced into the market increases an individual's chance of survival, but an individual may have allergic reactions to these new drugs, which may not be understood by an evaluators general examine. An individual longitudinal medical record, which stores years of an individuals medical history is required. The proposed approach incorporates the communication (wireless and security) needed for evaluators (such as a medic in the battlefield and residential doctors) to exchange data with their PDA devices called BMIS-T as well as with traditional computers that have a standard USB port adapter.
