“Over the past 16 years, Taiwan has been creating a health management system that enables its 23 million citizens to carry a so-called ‘IC Card’ medical record everywhere they go. This Integrated Circuit card contains information about the last six medical visits, prescriptions, allergies, organ donation willingness and vaccinations.
It might be said that this is ’mHealth’ in the simplest and truest form of the word. There are no network or portable device or mobile operating system issues; just a straightforward application of technology to allow every citizen to carry their health information with them wherever they go.”
