How is this better than printing medical information on durable waterproof material (valeron?) and storing it in a wallet or on a bracelet / neclace in perhaps a little sealed stainless steel container? It'd be far more durable, cheaper, and you wouldn't have to worry about charging the battery.. or problems that could arrise if you got the device wet or cracked the lcd screen. Maybe if you had medical problems and doses of medicine that changed on a DAILY basis, the electronic tag could be updated easier. Otherwise I don't see a point to this (except to hack for another use).
