Abstract
About 2,800 optical memory cards with personal health and welfare data have been at work in Isehara city (pop. 98,119 (1995)) since 1992. The card contains mainly the patient’s basic personal health data including records of consultations for up to five years, the period stipulated in Japanese law. In some cases, the card may contain more data: examples include welfare data and medical images.
