Abstract

In this chapter, the authors propose Medi-Ring, a compact system to carry all the medical records for senior citizens to avoid improper medication, delay in treatment in emergency situation. The three main aspects of Medi-Ring are NFC technology, system memory, and a controller. NFC technology is used for transferring the data, the system memory is used to store the medical records which includes patient's details, doctor's prescription, and all other medical details. A controller is used to control the whole system. As the proposed Medi-Ring is wearable, compact, and flexible, it can be used as a medical companion for senior citizens.
