Abstract
The invention relates to a medical information card that is in the form of a compact disk that has similar dimensions to a credit card. This compact disk is stored in a plastic sheath. An optional medical information sheet can be inserted into the plastic sheath adjacent to the medical information card so that a person inserting the medical information card into a computer will know whether a set of information stored on that card matches with a set of information stored on the sheet. Both the medical information card and the medical information sheet can have a digital picture of the user so that medical practitioners do not mix information relating to one user with information relating to another user. There is also a process for creating this medical information card. Essentially, the process includes the steps of presenting an application for a medical information card over a communication network, receiving medical and personal information from a user over that communication network, copying that information to a compact disk, and mailing the compact disk to the user. In a second embodiment of the process, the user can be presented with a paper-based application, wherein the user can then complete the application and then mail this application onto a receiving house where the information is eventually entered into a computer and then ultimately stored on a miniature compact disk.
