MEDICAL INFORMATION BAND
First Claim
1. A computer software product, comprising a medium readable by a processor, the medium having stored thereon a set of instructions for electronically storing medical and prescription information on a wearable elastic medical information band, the set of instructions including:
- (a) a first sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to display ambient temperature sensor data input to the processor;
(b) a second sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to automatically store pharmaceutical data, including correct pharmaceutical dosing instructions and expiration dates input to the processor;
(c) a third sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to display on a display device attached to the band the automatically stored pharmaceutical data;
(d) a fourth sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to alert a user when the pharmaceutical expiration dates occur;
(e) a fifth sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to accept, via an input port, microcode instructions for carrying out all functionality related to the electronically storing of the medical and the prescription information on the elastic band;
(f) a sixth sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to increment and decrement numerical values of the medical and prescription information responsive to input from the user using push buttons attached to the medical information band;
(g) a seventh sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to display to and alert the user of the correct time and dosing instructions for taking the pharmaceutical; and
(h) an eighth sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to display to and alert the user of a sensed current ambient temperature and recommend to the user to move the pharmaceutical to a location having the correct ambient temperature for the pharmaceutical.

Abstract
The medical information band is an electronic control unit removably attached to a band that may be worn by a user or attached to a medication bottle. The electronic control unit displays all the information of drugs that the user takes, and provides an electronic alert to remind the user when to take the medication, or when the medication has reached its expiration date. The electronic control unit includes a temperature sensor, and alerts the user when the medication must be moved to a different location with a more appropriate storage temperature. Moreover, the electronic control unit may also display the personal information and the health status of the user.

9. A medical information band, comprising:
-
an elastic band adapted for being worn by a user; an electronic control unit removably attached to the elastic band; an electronic digital circuit for storing medical and prescription information entered by a user, the circuit being housed in the electronic control unit; an electronic display mounted in the electronic control unit, the display being connected to the electronic digital circuit; an ambient temperature sensor disposed in the electronic control unit, the temperature sensor being connected to the electronic digital circuit; means for automatically storing pharmaceutical data, including correct pharmaceutical dosing instructions and expiration dates input, in the electronic digital circuit; means for displaying the automatically stored pharmaceutical data on the electronic display; means for alerting a user when the pharmaceutical expiration dates occur; an input port connected to the electronic digital circuit, the input port being adapted for transmission of microcode instructions for carrying out all functionality related to electronic storing of the medical and prescription information to the electronic digital circuit; push buttons mounted on the electronic control unit, the push buttons being in operable communication with the electronic digital circuit; means for incrementing and decrementing numerical values of the medical and prescription information responsive to input from the user using the push buttons; means for displaying to and alerting the user of the correct time and dosing instructions for taking the pharmaceutical; and means for displaying to and alerting the user of a sensed current ambient temperature and means for recommending to the user to move the pharmaceutical to a location having the correct ambient temperature for the pharmaceutical. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
