Have a look at this thread.  I wear a set of these dog tags when riding.

But these are a USB so info can be changed or updated when needed
And more info can be stored as well and with so many people using ipads etc accessing
this info is getting easier all the time.
With access to your id instead of calling you J Doe.

Good idea - impractical application. The whole purpose of medical ID alerts is that first responders are able to gleam the vital information quickly and act on it accordingly.
Also as a Paramedic I wouldn't be looking for dog tags.

yes unfortunately we are a little behind the times as most people carry a PDA or android pad of some sort
and some are computer link back to the nearest hospital/ base.

I note that MedicAlert id is also sold as a dog tag.  I wear the Dog Tags as an alternative to an ICE entry on my phone, and if I am unresponsive, someone can quickly identify me and who to contact.  My phone is usually not on me, but in the top box when I'm riding, and is usually locked anyway.  I have on the Dog Tags my own name and address and NOK name and contact details, and a  "No Allergies" note.  I guess no solution is perfect.

You are right Pete no solution is perfect but for me wanting to spend the
rest of my life travelling around Aus it would be the solution as I can put all
my medical details on it for when I have to go to Doctor or hospital somewhere.

Not a very friendly site, they want you to register before you even get to see the product

That's where PCEHR (pronounced "Pecker") comes in

Spent hours accurately inputting all my details into the Govt. Ehealth record, but yet to find a Dr that uses  it. They just say it is a waste of time. Seemed like a great idea, but appears the reality is more tax payer dollars thrown away. I have worn a Utag ICE dog tag for years whilst travelling in the hope that should I have an accident someone woukd realise what it was and be able to retrieve the info. They come with stickers to put on your helmet advising that you have one.
