Take your medical records anywhere — safe and secure

SmartMetric, which specializes in healthcare identity security, this week launched MedicalKeyring, a complete mobile medical records solution. The thumb-drive device features the world’s smallest biometric fingerprint reader and is self-powered so it does not have to be connected to a computer to unlock, reports CNET.
The device has an ARM 270MHz CPU, which processes the fingerprint scan in less than a second, and a rechargeable lithium ion battery. It also has a hospital-grade image and health records management system that reads and displays on a normal computer screen files such as DICOM which are used for X-rays.
In addition, MedicalKeyring has a display screen built in that shows a patient’s most critical emergency medical information including blood type and medications at the press of a button.
