Patient Identification and Record Card

The health care industry has been seeking a low cost and efficient method for enablingindividuals to have personal medical and pharmaceutical history recorded on a carry-around card. Manyschemes have been tried, all without success. Colorcode is submitting a method that may overcomeall reasonable objections, be low cost, and will allow the issuance of arrays of dots in shades-of-graywhich carry the information using Colorcode's Patent Pended approach. Commercial CCD hand heldscanners are used to read back the information. This research aims at customizing the Colorcodetechnology to meet the requirements of the medical identification card as have been established by theuser groups involved. Research toward this customization of Colorcode technology will entail appropriateinterface with established software and medical standards and preparation of a field test to be designedand performed in Phase II.
