Information Carrier

WPIC™ - Wireless Personal Information Carrier

Wireless Personal Information Carrier (WPIC™) technology gives medical personnel instantaneous access to medical data without any physical contact. Extending this technology to the general population simplifies medical examinations and provides instantaneous access to medical data in emergencies by prioritizing electronic patient records. POC has developed WPIC™ using our own proprietary lossless or perceptually lossless data / image / voice and video compression. WPIC features 1-4 GB of memory, a hybrid power supply, USB connectivity, and fast data transfer (1Mbps). The ultra - high effective data rate is achieved by high speed wireless communication (i.e. 802.11X / 802.15.X). WPIC™ will employ FIPS 140-2 certified encryption to assure data security. In addition to containing 20 years of medical records WPIC™ includes proximity activation and patient tracking capabilities.

Applications: Wireless Medical Record Carrier used by military, healthcare, and first responders. WPIC™ can also be used for security check points and as a personal wireless nano recorder.

Availability: WPIC demonstrations are now available and is ready for transitioning.
