Abstract
ICEfind is the emergency medical, health, and safety static device (including but not limited to base alloy and precious metal jewellery, zipper toggles etc) featuring an alpha-numeric code allowing access to emergency responders via network (internet, wireless or cellular for example). The code allows online access for emergency responders (paramedics, care givers, school personnel, sports league administrators, etc) to employ any system, browser, computer, smart phone or network-capable device to immediately receive an integrated diary of critical information for the distressed person including (but not limited to):
o Complete Medical History o Allergies o Medication o Care and Custody o Emergency Contact Information (Next of Kin, Doctor/Specialist, etc) o Organ donation o Living Will o Passing Will

Description
4. Full Description ICEfind is device or article intended to be worn by an individual or kept on one's person printed with an alpha, or numeric, or alphanumeric code,or barcode for the purpose of accessing medical, health, safety or emergency information via a network, including but not limited to: the internet, wireless networks, cellular networks, and medical databases.
The defining components of the device are:
a. An item of jewelery such as a bracelet, watch, pendant, zipper toggle, dog tag, identification card, earring, eyeglasses, belt buckle, watchband, charm, or ring, b. A caduceus, Rod of Asclepius or other widely recognized medical alert symbol on the item with the intent to alert / get attention of medical service providers or others, c. an alpha, or numeric, or alphanumeric code,or barcode which acts as a "key"

2. The Nature and Flaws of Previous Known Devices That ICEfind Replaces or Improves The biggest and most well-known company for distribution of personal medical information is Medic-Alert via a bracelet with an engraving describing the nature of the wearer's condition, issue, or allergy.
Current products have some considerable limitations that ICEfind addresses.
These flaws include:
a) incompleteness of information due to lack of ability to deliver a volume of data b) data is often not current and/or relevant as time passes c) devices and cards can have wear and tear and/or breakage d) emergency responders cannot always recognize the information device e) devices that use technology are not ubiquitous due to the myriad of technology platforms f) some solutions are prone to communication errors and retention of verbal descriptions g) many devices do not identify the wearer so responders can't know for sure if the bracelet or device actually is for the wearer.
All traditional offerings (such as bracelets, wallet cards, tattoos) fail to offer the scope and breadth of information because all of the methods share a similar flaw in delivery:
they attempt to put the information on the device itself rather than providing a gateway to the information via a network. Even wallet cards (which have the greatest space available) still have very limited space available to deliver a complete medical / heath /
safety profile. All of these devices also are prone to becoming out of date as conditions of the wearer change and thus reduce their usefulness. Wallet cards can also become worn out and unreadable. Wallet cards are often overlooked by emergency responders.
Finally, a bracelet or device may be found on a person in crisis or near a person in crisis and it is not generally possible to even know if that device is actually for the person in crisis or is in the possession of the person in crisis for a different reason.
"Thumb drive" products (or USB Flash Drives) do solve the data volume problem however they still share the concept that the data is on the person rather than via a secure delivery system over a network. Thumb drives, however, have several greater flaws because they require software on the thumb drive which is compatible with
