Device and system for implementing advance directives

摘要

The invention provides a system for effectively implementing a patient's specific wishes (advance directives) regarding medical care even in a setting where the patient is incapacitated or is unable to communicate directly with care providers. In one implementation an Advance Directives portable combined identification unit device or equivalent device is employed to register and access a patient's wishes concerning limitations on health care measures to be applied when the patient is unresponsive. The patient's Advance Directives and identification material such as biometric information may be stored on a server (including the Cloud) or on a Personal Data Containment System device such as a RFID-enabled chip, a flash drive, a phone Application, etc. The Advance Directives information can be accessed by an automated code robot device which may result in alterations to protocol-driven medical procedures such as CPR and defibrillation.
