If only we had a technology to physically carry around data in our pocket, and selectively share it without uploading it to remote servers...



Great... now your doctor can read the news in your patient file only once/after and while you're in the room. I'm sure that won't affect his or her bill rate.

As it is, I only get to see my doctor for three and a half minutes when I need help, after 5 minutes with a PA, and I don't know if the PA has even had a chance to communicate any of what I told her to the physician, so I have to write everything down lest I forget to repeat something important. Now it sounds like you want to remove the chance they might have actually reviewed my history before I get there, by having me carry it around in my pocket with me?


How about handing it to their receptionist as you check in?

Who can of course store the data on their network, for the duration of your treatment?

Not everything has to be put into global data-silos.
