These concepts are all headed in the right direction, but www.emergentag.com is the easiest, most affordable solution for individuals at risk. For $29.99 you can get an EMERGENTag and protect yourself without entering your private, personal data on the web or paying a subscription fee. Check it out.

@Danny – Nice idea but your site makes me nervous. First, the area where I put in all of my PERSONAL and MEDICAL information is NOT secured. Second, I tried to send feedback and all I got were errors. Then, I went to the forums and there were NO discussions… not even so much as a welcome message from an admin.
Sorry, I think I'll stick with a USB drive for now. At least I know that is under MY control.

@Brittany – Sorry, I don't want to pay a periodic subscription and the one-time deal is twice the price of this solution.

Thank you for sharing this information. It is good to know about various options. They both seem to be good solutions to help you retain your personal health information but may not be as useful for emergencies. In an emergency, every second counts and depending on the place of emergency, you never know if they have time and in come cases, equipment to look at data on a USB stick right away.

I use ICE solution from http://ICEcare.net. I find it very practical and as intuitive... all data is on my mobile phone. Easy to access, it is always with me and easy to connect with my family, should their be a need for that as well.

Love this concept, but I think we do it better. www.mymedicalmemory.org
1 - we were designed by doctors, the ones who know what they need to see in the event of an emergency. that's why in our system, the first things you'll see are an EKG (if you have one), your allergies, your current medications, and your surgical history...this data is LIFE-SAVING, and most laymen don't know what's most important.
2) we help you obtain your medical records and other relevant information through paperwork and phone support
3) we maintain your records on a secure server so even if you lose your flash drive, we can get you a backup right away
4) we also offer an "infodisc" option, which is a wallet-card-sized CD...it's small enough to fit in a standard wallet card slot, but can hold all of your medical records
Of course I think My Medical Memory holds some significant advantages over the competition; I work for the company. But the goal is to save lives by making sure health care professionals have all the essential information they need to give the best care possible. So however you choose to track and store your medical records and information, DO make that choice...it could save your life!
