Abstract

An indication that an occupant has entered a vehicle is detected on a computing device. The occupant is identified based on the indication that the occupant has entered the vehicle. A health record that is associated with the occupant is accessed by the computing device. The computing device enables the accessed health record associated with the occupant to be available from a secure digital storage container. The health record associated with the occupant is provided to a second computing device registered to a first responder from the secure digital storage container based on detecting an indication that the vehicle has had a collision.
