As you know that in advanced countries and especially developing countries, storing of medical record of a person is a big problem. Because when a person goes to doctor then doctor doesn't know past history of disease or treatment of patient. So, it is very helpful for doctor, if a patient has old record of treatment. But it is very difficult for any patient to save old record. Our device Smart Medical Identity Card can solve this problem, In which we store all medical record of patient including variety of documentation of patient's history, clinical findings, diagnostic test results, blood type, prescribed drugs, preoperative care, operation notes, post operative care, daily notes of a patient's progress, medications, name diseases, name of last doctor, name of last hospital and about treatment process. It can be kept easily in pocket, purse and etc. Doctor can see all the old record of patient's treatments and diseases in SMIC. Mainly quick access to patient's records can be life saving, if an emergency occurs and answers to those questions that are needed during the emergency in decision-making process. It is also very helpful for providing medical records in disaster conditions. Commonly doctors get information about patient's history by asking patients. Each time a patient visits a new doctor's office; patient fills out forms about his history, including previous surgeries or the drugs patient take on regular basis. If we forget a piece of information or if we don't write it down because it seems unimportant to us then doctors don't have that piece of our medical puzzle to work with. In SMIC, records can easily be shared. It is also helpful for patient when he goes to foreign country for treatment or other purpose. For stored data, we use chip in which data store in 0's and 1's form or binary form. We use NAND Flash Memory. In this card, we give particular identity number for each person, CNIC number, name, father name, date of birth, country name and etc. We also use Biometric System for securing data of patients in which we use finger print identification. We use card reader to read, write and sharing data. It is cost effective because it has low price and we don't need to get medical reports from laboratories repeatedly. For individual patient, access to good care becomes easier and safer by SMIC.
