Port Med Records

In the event of a catastrophe—whether a widespread natural disaster or the loss of your home—having all your medical records on a USB storage device could mean the difference between life and death, particularly if you required treatment in an unfamiliar medical facility.

The USB storage device could be kept in a fireproof box or safe or a safety deposit box with other important papers and valuables or somewhere else safe.  Imagine the peace of mind a device like this could provide for you and your family.

Electronic medical records on one portable device are a great idea for elderly people who want to travel! My grandmother is 87 years old and still lives independently, but all of her children live in a different state.  Having had medication mix-ups when emergency treatment was administered in the past, she has been cautious about traveling recently and has missed an important event or two.

If she were to require medical attention during a visit, she could get out this gadget to assist the hospital or urgent care center and ensure they do not make a mistake with her medications, allergies, or any other medical issues she may have.  She turns 88 soon, and I know what she’s getting for her birthday!
