Walletex, whose already thrown its hat into the MP3-player ring is ready to tackle another item much in need of a digital upgrade — medical records. The closest the medical-record industry has gotten to technology is motorized shelving units that rotate the thousands upon thousands folders to help clerks get at them. The Walletex MediCard is looking to attack the paper-heavy medical-record industry by completely digitizing your information.

The MediCard appears to be an ID card at first, but it also contains a USB dongle that includes all of your medical records. The thin size allows it to be carried anywhere in case a medical emergency were to randomly arise.

This kind of a device does have its downsides. What if you lose your MediCard? Not only would the world know that you have hemorrhoids, but you would be without all of your medical records, at least until you buy a new MediCard.
