MedRecords

MedRecords (Humanitarian benefits) will allow a person to place their medical records on any device using the Android operating system. “Two tech giants are getting into the online medical records market. Google and Microsoft are offering services that will let users store medical information on a single centralized Web-based service.” - National Public Radio. The MedRecords application is the next logical step – allow the user access to copy their records in case of an emergency. Initially the MedRecords screen contains the two spinners the top spinner contains the names of the users and the second the areas of medical information. The number of areas can be increased to include things like blood pressure, insulin dosage, and calorie intake monitoring.

Patients are typically treated by multiple physicians at multiple clinics and hospitals. In an emergency, computerized medical record networks allow care givers to find information quickly - alerting them, for example, if a patient has a dangerous allergy to a medication. Unlike most networks, however, MedRecords does not rely on the Internet to keep this information available. Once loaded on the Android device the records can be retrieved, if needed, from any place at any time. To eliminate the concern about fraud and identity theft the Social Security number, driver’s license number, or any other form of identification that could be used for identity theft is not stored. Current areas: General Information, Allergies, Immunizations, Medications, Insurance, Family History, Procedures-Surgeries, and Travel Destinations.

MedRecords consists of two parts: The first is the web site (911mr.com) to house the medical records and the second the Android interface to store the records.MedRecords does not need a web site only a database with a static IP address. The next release will allow a doctor to access their patient records selecting from a list or a military doctor to access a soldier(s) records in the field. The basic criteria of MedRecords are as follows:

• A maximum of three finger clicks would display any area of information on any of the users whose records are stored.
• The application must be intuitive so emergency care gives could fine information without the help of a verbal or written instructions.
• The information displayed must be easy to read and categorized in specific areas of importance.
• Average storage capacity of approximately 5K per users whose records are stored.
• Ease of identification via general characteristics, scars and marks, and the persons photograph.
