Your medical records on a thumb drive


Here's a cool thing I noticed recently in the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America Owners News and probably the ideal way for motorcyclists to carry their medical info in case of a crash.
Here's the pertinent poop:
Whether you are cruising across town or the USA, MedFlash, a new product, allows you to carry your complete medical history with you. The MedFlash has shown to be a valuable source of medical information, regardless if it is a routine physician visit or an emergency. By owning a MedFlash you will have peace of mind that you can provide any physician, caregiver or emergency personnel key medical information in a flash. MedFlash is a revolutionary medical record device that is the future of the medical alert bracelet. MedFlash is easy to use and can be taken anywhere. The MedFlash unit can be attached to your key ring or worn around your neck.
MedFlash stores critical information such as: Allergies, Medications, Special Conditions, Emergency Contacts, Medical History, Insurance, Permissions and much more!
The sophisticated, easy-to-use MedFlash program consists of 5 medical screens that a user can simply type (or cut & paste) their data into. Also, the program includes a picture/document uploader that enables the owner to upload MRI/EKG/X-rays photos. Windows 2000 or newer operating system required.

You can order it online from the MedFlash site for $29.95.
