Abstract

A mobile phone that can store and display personal medical information is presented. The mobile phone includes a medical data software application executable by a digital processor within the mobile phone. A storage device containing the personal medical information is coupled with the digital processor and a user interface is used to access and manipulate the medical data software application and personal medical information. The medical data software application is also coupled with a communications module to allow remote wireless access to the medical data application from another device.

Claims

1. A mobile phone that can store and display personal medical information, the mobile phone comprising:

a digital processor;

a storage device containing the personal medical information coupled with the digital processor;

a medical data software application executable by the digital processor; and

a user interface for accessing and manipulating the medical data software application and personal medical information.

2. The mobile phone of claim 1 further comprising a communications module coupled with the digital processor, the communications module for providing remote wireless access to the medical data application from another device such that the personal medical information can be wirelessly sent to the other device.

3. The mobile phone of claim 2 wherein the medical data application authenticates the other device before allowing personal medical information to be wirelessly sent out from the mobile phone.

4. A medical data software application resident in a mobile phone and executable by the mobile phone and able to wirelessly exchange data with external devices, the medical data software application comprising:

a configuration component comprised of computer program code that collects and populates a database with personal medical information;

a secure access component comprised of computer program code that prevents unauthorized access to the personal medical information; and

a component comprised of computer program code that displays the personal medical information on the mobile phone display in response to user interface input.

5. The medical data software application of claim 4 further comprising a communications component comprised of computer program code that allows the personal medical information to be transmitted out of the mobile phone.
