Healthy USB drives

There are many clever uses for USB drives, including the Migo USB or sticking a personalized version of John Haller's tweaked Firefox on it for easy use on any computer.

CNET News write about MedicAlert's plan to sell USB devices to patients for storing health data etc.

"Updates to the health records stored on the device can be made by a patient and other people authorized by the person to do so, such as a physicians or pharmacists."

The real key to its potential success might be the online backup of the information, and a dedicated support department, i.e. MedicAlert's emergency response center.
