INTEGRATED PATIENT DIAGNOSTIC AND IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A diagnostic and identification bracelet comprising, in combination,a substantially toroidal band;
- a re-useable lock which joins two ends of said band;
an identification mechanism on a face of said band;
a plurality of physiologic sensors connected to said band;
said identification bracelet being difficult to remove without selectively unlocking said lock.

Abstract
A small integrated diagnostic and identification system is disclosed that solves several problems associated with current sensory systems. The diagnostic and identification system comprises a bracelet with an identification mechanism that is difficult to remove and has a lock. Further, the diagnostic and identification bracelet comprises a microprocessor which communicates with various physiologic sensors wherein said physiological sensors are substantially within said bracelet. Alternatively some of the sensors may be mounted outside the bracelet and means are provided for communicating data from the outside mounted sensors to the bracelet. The physiologic sensors either routinely, automatically monitor an individual'"'"'s physiology or monitor the physiology based on a user request. The resulting physiology data from each sensor is combined via a single output and displayed on a display device. The present invention may be integrated with a record management system to share and store an individual'"'"'s records.
