Abstract
An information storage device may be semi-permanently attached to a wearer. The device can include an outer casing configured to be compatible with long term contact with a human body. A data storage component may store information of the wearer and a transceiver may wirelessly communicate information from the data storage component. The stored information can be, for example, the complete medical history of the wearer, “emergency” medical information, prescriptions, medical warnings (e.g., past history of coronary problems), financial information, social security numbers, or other useful information.
