Abstract
The invention is an apparatus and a system designed to communicate critical medical information to an emergency care-giver such as a paramedic. Using a cellular telephone, the user creates the medical information that they deem appropriate (i.e. medications being taken, doctor with phone number, and medical conditions). This medical information is stored either locally on the cellular telephone or on a remote computer. The emergency care-giver is able to easily access this information by pressing a single button to get the medical information displayed on the screen on the cellular telephone or audibly recreated on the cellular telephone.
