MEMI TECH, LLC Launches Spanish Version of 911 Medical IDTM
to Serve Hispanic Market as Product Expands into
American Southwest and Puerto Rico

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – August 13, 2010 –MEMI TECH, LLC (My Electronic Medical Information), creator of the 911 Family of ProductsTM, has added a Spanish language translation to its flagship product: the 911 Medical IDTM Card—a portable, electronic personal medical record featuring the world’s thinnest USB connection device.

The addition was prompted by the product’s rapid geographic expansion into Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, New York and California through its growing distributor base, as well as its entry into the retail arena through Wal-Mart in Puerto Rico.

“As we’ve grown, so has the demand for 911 Medical IDTM by the Hispanic market,” said CEO Mark Weiss. “Our ultimate goal is to give everyone—every ethnic group, every age group, every socio-economic group—the opportunity to take control of their healthcare and protect themselves against becoming victims of medical error and medical identity theft, one of the fastest-growing frauds today. This is just the first of many language translations to come,” Weiss added.

The 911 Medical IDTM card allows users to enter their health histories and upload important medical records and documents (including Living Wills) onto a credit card-sized carrier that can be opened and viewed in seconds by medical personnel on any computer in the event of a medical emergency. No internet connection is required. The card fits neatly into a wallet like a credit card for ease of transport. Emergency Alert stickers direct first responders to the patient’s card.

The goal, according to Weiss, is to eliminate treatment delays and help medical personnel make more informed decisions about treatment options based on a patient’s health conditions, the prescription drugs they are taking, their known allergens, and more. Armed with the power of information, ER and other medical personnel can help prevent the growing incidence of dangerous drug interactions and other medical mistakes that occur too frequently in emergency rooms.

“As we move toward the time when Electronic Medical Records will be the standard in every hospital, insurance company, and doctor’s office throughout the United States, the Portable Personal Health Record industry will have an important role to play,” said Weiss. “It bridges the gap because, until now, the patient has always been the missing link in our healthcare system. Now people are taking charge of the changes they want to see in emergency rooms and physician offices around the country by taking personal responsibility for their healthcare,” he added.

In addition to 911 Medical IDTM, MEMI Tech, LLC has created three additional products that operate on the same USB card format: 911 My Property eSafeTM, launched in July of 2010, stores personal property records to expedite claims processing and total financial recovery in the event of disaster; 911 My Pet eSafeTM helps facilitate the safe and speedy return of lost pets, and 911 My Financial eSafeTM, which will be launched within the next 60 days, assists in investment tracking and estate planning.

The company sells its 911 Family of ProductsTM through exclusive distributors only, and currently has distributors in more than half of the zip codes in the US and Canada.
