<p>A passive electrical transponder (20) may be encoded with a code corresponding to medical information, and the transponder (20) directly transplanted in a patient's underarm area (22). The information may then be accessed with an electromagnetic hand held reader (26) which is brought into proximity of the transponder (20). The medical information may itself be directly encoded into the transponder (20), or a code used which is then keyed to a corresponding data entry in a data bank (30) accessible over telecommunication lines (32). With this invention, medical information may be reliably recorded, maintained, and accessed with minimal patient involvement in order to achieve a high degree of reliability and accuracy.</p> |
