Can think that technology help Medical Science - Medical Science

Was jst thinking of the technical feasibilty of some means of carrying a database of a person's medical history. Say, each person will hav his/her chip which wud carry that patient's medical history. Doctors wud have a device which can read the info in the chip which wud definitely help the doctor in treating the patient better, say instead of going for a round of medical examinations etc. may b he can go thru the info in the chip which can b of some help.

Hav u guys over there (US) heard of any such existing technology already implemented?? How much do u think will this b of help to the medical society ??

These are the areas you have actually glanced....

Automated Medical diagnosis.
Remote health monitoring.
Bio-technology, humanoid types.
Patient Medical History.

On need basis, these are the areas.

DO we need to store a persons previous medical history??
Do we need a mechanism for remote monitoring of vital symptoms.
Does the person has to carry the medical history with him really??

My answers are.

Ofcourse we need to store persons previous medical history, so that docs can get a quick look of what's goin on.
Not much really, considering the general crowd,as of now, we need not inverst heavily on deploying some chips to regularly monitor.
Hmmm...this one is debatable, a person's medical history is really personal, this data is so sensitive that, collectively it has the power to drive a economy or bust a nation.
Medical history of a nation can be used to judge when is the perfect time to attack or engage in a war.

Your medical insurance can become costly, or you can be denied one altogether.

You may be restricted from travelling, rejected visa, or worst may be conatined.
