Card4Life is a USB device that
plugs into any computer running Windows XP and higher and has a
built-in program that
allows you to enter your health information. It is
password protected so the information entered is as secure as
the cardholder desires. However, your social security
number and insurance policy numbers will always be secured to
help prevent identity theft. Secured information can
be accessed only by the cardholder entering their password.
The "pages" of information you
enter are important for an accurate picture of your past and
current health. It is recommended that a blank copy of the
form, provided as a part of your Card4Life, be printed,
completed by hand and then entered into the Card4Life program.
We also recommend the completed document be reviewed by your
personal physician and any specialists to insure the medical
information entered is accurate and complete. A
complete set of instructions are supplied with your Card4Life
upon delivery.
The development of Card4Life was
done in consultation with medical professionals, including
physicians, hospital administrators, nurses, EMT personnel, as
well as end users.
Not only is the Card4Life program
installed on the USB device, there is plenty of additional space
for other important medical information such as a Living Will,
Medical Power of Attorney, digital x-rays and any other
documents you might want to make available to medical personnel,
attorney's and family.
Your medical information can and
should be updated when there is a change in your medical status.
Please remember, Card4Life can be a terrific time saver if you change
physicians or specialist as your medical information can be
printed out and handed to your new doctor. If your
doctor's office desires they can simply add the report to your
electronic medical chart by copying the report to their computer
file.
Carry Card4Life with you and
in the event of an emergency, the emergency medical staff can
access your basic information so they can treat you without
wondering what medications you are taking, for example, that
might react with another medication needed.
Card4Life is SECURE!
You have the option of making as much or as little of your
information password protected. Any information you
protect with a password will NOT be available to someone who
picks up your device and plugs it into a computer.
However, to help you in case of an emergency your first name and
date of birth is available to emergency services staff along
with your emergency contacts first name and telephone numbers.
Your social security number and insurance policy numbers are
always protected even if you leave the rest of your information
unprotected.
There is no need to connect to
the internet with Card4Life as your medical information is not
stored on a computer server somewhere that a hacker could get
into and steal your information. You carry it, you
protected it!
SAVE WORRY - Peace of
mind is measured in many ways. Sleeping soundly, normal
blood pressure and knowing you have done all you can do all add
up to less worry. Family members will know you have taken
the necessary steps to take care of yourself.
SAVE TIME - Card4Life will
save you time when you go to a new physician or specialist by
not having to fill out those forms we all have done so many
times. More importantly it will save valuable time when
emergency medical personnel must quickly evaluate your condition
in order to treat you safely and effectively.
SAVE MONEY - When valuable
information is available on your Card4Life, it may not be
necessary to have time consuming and expensive tests repeated
such as blood tests, x-rays and other procedures.
SAVE LIFE - In extreme
situations, Card4Life may save your life by alerting emergency
personnel to important facts contained in your medical history.
Reactions to certain medications, prior episodes of heart
problems, stroke, diabetic coma and other conditions are vital to
knowing how to and how not to treat a patient. CARD4LIFE
CAN TALK FOR YOU WHEN YOU CAN'T! |
