SYSTEM AND METHOD UTILIZING FACIAL RECOGNITION WITH ONLINE (SOCIAL) NETWORK TO ACCESS CASUALTY HEALTH INFORMATION IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION

摘要

A system and method for a participant to securely store select preexisting medical and other information which is then available in real time to emergency workers using a (mobile) software application that uses facial recognition to match a presenting image of a casualty with a master image of the participant to provide their identity. Once identified, pre-existing medical and demographic information may be transmitted to emergency responders to better care for the casualty in an emergency situation.
