And building on the theme of: "The potential is endless."

Of course, the need is there. And the Govt. umbrella of subsidies is being put into place now. But what about the solution to the problem?

I suggest that Connectyx be the first to come up with an RFID device for holding health records that can be embedded under the skin. That way, when they scoop your grandmother off the sidewalk and take here to the EMR, they can scan her for the much needed list of prescriptions, etc. This is really the only ling-term solution that is viable.

It is also standard practice in the veterinary industry now. Every vet has an RFID scanner and routinely checks every "patient" that comes thru the door. Beyond that, some rich people are already using RFID "keys" for convienent entry and operation of their expensive homes, cars and boats. Embedding a chip is not as bad as it sounds and will eventually become commonplace.

As long as the proposed electronic health records are to be contained in some sort of external flash memory device or USB thumb drive, etc. there is a strong possibility that it won't be available when needed. I don't think it is reasonable to expect folks to wear these dodadds around their necks like jewelery. But who knows. And if it is on the ring with car and house keys then it may be stored away as personal property and not even examined or recognized as containing the needed records.

From what I can tell from watching the market there are a lot of vendors pushing their particular solution. But there is simply no clear cut technique or provider appearing on the scene. Not yet anyway. I am guessing it is going to take a year or more for the standard practice to be nailed down. That will lead to a gigantic shakeout in the industry, affecting companies like this one.

The copycat approach isn't going to win in the end. Connectyx needs to be highly innovative so as to get out in front of the pack, as the leader with the go-to solution.

All just my opinion...
