As the NHS agonises over electronic patient files, two doctors in New York have gone all the way and launched a profit-making Web site that stores medical records.
People can pay $100 per year to register their medical history at the Medical Registry, including X-Rays and other digital images. The information is encrypted, and accessible only with the patient's password - stored on a card or bracelet - plus a doctor's ID.
Murray Friedman, CEO of Integrated Medical Technologies (IMT), which provides the service, claims it can save lives. IMT's Medical Edge service already sells prescription drugs to patients, provided they have written approval from their doctor. Both services are available from www.medicaledge.com.
