I wear a USB medical alert device that lets me input all that stuff and all the hospital has to do is pop it into a USB drive. It doesn't need a program so it doesn't install anything or require anything. I found it EXTREMELY helpful at the ER once when I had a few things going on and was given high dose benadryl, anti-nausea and pain meds as soon as I got in the door; I was too groggy to go through my meds. There are various types; mine is http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Alert-...SB+medic+alert

and I like it. It's the 2nd of this brand I've had. I've been using them for years because I have a dangerous allergy to tetanus shots so need one on me all the time and then as I developed med allergies it became more important and when I started an MAOI there was no choice but to have a medic alert on all the time bc/ the treatment for my allergies conflicts with the restrictions of my MAOI.

The only thing I don't like is that it is bigger than some devices. But the small one I had I hated. (I've tried several brands out over the years). I've come back to this brand twice I think.
