Yes, that's what I was saying that it could be so helpful for medical care and, hopefully, one day for locating the lost. Just think, ready, current meds, drug/other allergies, complete medical HX., blood type, NOK and even insurance info all right there on the scanner screen for ED docs and nurses - even the EMT's could use it.
We all walk around with so many foreign objects in us now, this little dude surely couldn't be much of a problem. Just think for injured children where the parents aren't available in the E.R. - the docs could have access to vital info right then. In a life or death situation, I'd like my child's doc to know if he had an antibiotic allergy or was a bleeder.
