MED Card – New technology allows you to carry your Medical Information in your wallet

Randburg, Gauteng, South Africa – November 11, 2011

The concept is simple – a lightweight card style flash drive that can fit in your wallet that carries your medical history where ever you go. MED Card (Medical Emergency Details Card) offers users the opportunity to keep their crucial, updated medical information on their person, no matter where they may be.

A recent survey conducted by MED Card highlighted the following issues: - Doctor's treating patients in an emergency are not aware of their allergies to certain medications. - Participants indicated that doctors could not read previous entries in patient's medical files, made by other doctors. - Medical files reside at each doctor's practice and not with the patient - this results in the same tests being taken at different doctors - a costly and unnecessary exercise.

The MED Card provides facilities to the owner to easily enter and store their own contact details, as well as that of family members and doctors. The user is also able to make entries of all doctors visits, payments made and future appointments. Add to that the ability to create entries for all current conditions, allergies, illnesses, surgeries, medication being used and even details of frequently performed tests and it is easy to see that the MED Card actually is invaluable in terms of the benefits it brings to its owner.

Users are encouraged to request that their doctors create entries on their card, detailing their diagnosis and prescriptions for future reference. Not only will the MED Card provide medical practitioners with a patient’s full medical history, it will also provide otherwise unmentioned information around other conditions which may help in the diagnosis of current issues.  Consider purchasing a MED Card for children suffering from allergies and other medical conditions. Senior citizens can also greatly benefit from using a MED Card as it will serve as a second ‘memory’, keeping track of medication, doctor’s details and recent test results.

The greatest benefit of the MED Card, perhaps, is its ability to provide information under emergency conditions when the owner is unconscious or unable to speak. Medical practitioners will have full access to all of the patients details including details of pacemakers, surgeries, blood type, current medication and treatments, and allergies.

At only R300 each, the MED Card can save your life in an emergency by providing details that you cannot.
