Research abstract

The Office of the Secretary of Defense is seeking to develop a new type of personal identification card (PIC) for the patientcentric data network and database, containing a complete longitudinal patient record up to 20 years long. Coupled with theBattlefield Medical Information System Tactical (BMIST), individual medical data often needs to be accessed and updated by medical personnel even when real-time connectivity to a database is unavailable. To meet thisthese requirements Physical OpticsCorporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Wireless Personal Information Carrier (WPIC) than will exceed these requirements by introducing innovative hybrid power supplies, including both passive (inductive power transfer), and active (efficient battery)systems with minimal data transfer times. The proposed WPIC will have an ultrahigh effective data communication rate, achieved by modifying Bluetooth technology to exceed 10 Mbps. It is based on POC's unique lossless and perceptually losslessdata/voice/image compression, which reduces data transfer time by a factor of five compared to existing systems and will support expansion of the WPIC to include high-quality audio, high-resolution images, and video sequences. With efficient powermanagement of hybrid inductive and battery-based power supplies, WPIC can operate for over five years operation without battery change.
