Someone posted something that walgreens sells on line not long ago.  It was a braclet that had a computer chip in it.  Like a jump drive.  You could put your info in your computer and then down load it to your braclet.  The Dr, EMS, etc can download your info into any laptop. It was cheap and looked pretty easy.
The main problem with those is security and not for the jump drive. Most facilities do not like having to access someone's drive like that due to massive security on their end, the fear that a virus/worm/or Trojan is also on that drive.

So while the idea is a great one, it will be a long time in implementation. Security of the receiving end would have to be secured.

I would worry that there is no way to read in the ambulance as well.

In fact, I didn't get the interactive Road Id because I wasn't sure the emergency personnel would call the 800#. But I could get all my info on the bracelet so it wasn't an issue to get that version.
