Patent ID: 11309083

Abstract:
A system for identifying, monitoring the health of an individual and providing for the retrieval of information relating to said individual by a plurality of authorized users The system comprises an identification device and associated hardware and software components. The identification device a skin wearable, waterproof, non-transferable frangible individual identification device comprising (1) an adhesive and an ink arranged on a substrate to provide a physiologically perceptible, humanly understandable information related to said individual, and a machine-readable two-dimensional code, wherein said code can be scanned for identification, interaction, information exchange, and instructions and (2) an electronic device having wireless communication capability with the ability to send, receive, and store information, wherein electronic device comprises at least one sensor for taking vital sign data, wherein once applied to skin of the individual said identification device is not removable in one piece rendering the identification device inoperable within said system once removed from skin wherein the ink, substrate, and adhesive are biocompatible. The associated hardware includes a plurality of receivers; a computer interface device receiving information from said individual identification device and from said receivers respecting the individual identified by said individual identification device; a computer system coupled to said computer interface device, said computer system including a memory with an algorithm for processing information collected by said computer system; and a separate set of receivers and a separate service rendering system, each output information from their respective receivers to a common database, the contents of said common database being coupled to a computing device which communicates information to and from a central server. In a preferred embodiment, the identification device is a Bluetooth, battery powered, identification and monitoring device measuring pulse oximetry and heart rate. The system would be particularly useful in a custodial situation wherein the sensor would be applied immediately after custody is taken and data from the sensors would be sent to a an authorize person's (law enforcement, emergency personnel) local device and the central server which would alert both the local device and when needed emergency services with a request for help.
