Abstract
A system and method of managing medical data, wherein the method comprises attaching a portable medical data storage unit device to a data processing system through a universal serial bus port interface, wherein the portable medical data storage unit device stores the data; reading the data on the data processing system; decrypting the data on the data processing system; classifying the data into a plurality of data fields; entering additional data into the data processing system; encrypting the data; and transferring the additional data stored in the data processing system to the portable medical data storage unit device. The data fields are selectively segmented according to patient data, medical history data, alerts and medications data, notes data, and images data. Also, the data comprises images, wherein the images comprise photographic, x-ray, graphical, text, and color images.
