## Abstract

A facility for accessing information relating to a person is described. In a reader device, the facility accesses first credentials stored in a first storage device, second credentials stored in a second storage device, and third credentials stored in the reader device. In the reader device, the facility uses a combination of the first credentials, second credentials, and third credentials to decrypt information relating to the person stored in the first storage device.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-47. (canceled)

### Claim 48

A computer-readable medium having contents configured to cause a computing system to, in order to analyze health service trends:
from each of a plurality of reader devices, receive health service information aggregated from health service information for each of a plurality of patients whose portable health information storage devices were connected to the reader device; and
perform one or more analysis operations against the received health service information to obtain at least one analysis result.

### Claim 49 (depends on 48)

The computer-readable medium of claim 48 wherein the computer-readable medium has contents configured to further cause a computing system to output the analysis result.

### Claim at position 4

50-54. (canceled)

### Claim 55 (depends on 48)

The data access device of claim 48 wherein the at least one analysis result comprises a health trend discerned from the aggregated health service information.

### Claim 56 (depends on 48)

The data access device of claim 48 wherein the at least one analysis result comprises a treatment trend discerned from the aggregated health service information.

### Claim 57

A data access device configured to access personal information on a portable storage device, the data access device comprising:
a first interface configured to communicatively connect the data access device to a portable storage device containing encrypted health information for a person;
a controller configured to interact with the encrypted health information contained by the portable storage device; and
a second interface configured to communicatively connect the data access device to an analytics server in order to convey to the analytics server health information aggregated from health information retrieved from a plurality of portable access devices each containing health information for a different person.

### Claim 58 (depends on 57)

The data access device of claim 57 wherein the controller is configured to limit conveyance of health information to the analytics server via the second interface to health information that is aggregated across at least a minimum number of people.

### Claim 59 (depends on 58)

The data access device of claim 58 wherein the minimum number of people is ten.

### Claim 60 (depends on 57)

The data access device of claim 57 wherein the first interface comprises at least one electrical contact.

### Claim 61 (depends on 60)

The data access device of claim 60 wherein the first interface is adapted to interface with a smart card.

### Claim 62 (depends on 57)

The data access device of claim 57 wherein the first interface comprises a wireless transceiver.

### Claim 63 (depends on 62)

The data access device of claim 62 wherein the first interface comprises an active radio transceiver.

### Claim 64 (depends on 62)

The data access device of claim 62 wherein the first interface is adapted to conduct Wi-Fi communication.

### Claim 65 (depends on 62)

The data access device of claim 62 wherein the first interface is adapted to conduct Bluetooth communication.

### Claim 66 (depends on 62)

The data access device of claim 62 wherein the first interface is adapted to conduct NFC communication.

### Claim 67 (depends on 62)

The data access device of claim 62 wherein the first interface comprises a passive RFID radio transceiver.

### Claim 68 (depends on 62)

The data access device of claim 62 wherein the first interface comprises an infrared transceiver.

### Claim 69 (depends on 62)

The data access device of claim 62 wherein the first interface is adapted to interface with a smartphone.

### Claim 70

One or more memories collectively containing a data structure, the data structure comprising:
health service information representing health service information collected from two or more reader devices, the health service information collected from each reader device representing health service information received from a plurality of portable storage devices, each portable storage device having been carried into physical proximity of the reader device by a person whose individual health service information the portable storage device stores and transfers to the reader device,
such that the health service information is usable to perform healthcare analytics with respect to the health service experience of the people carrying the portable storage devices.

### Claim 71 (depends on 70)

The one or more memories of claim 70 wherein the health service information collected from each reader device is aggregated from the individual health service information of no less than a threshold minimum number of people, in a way that dissociates the aggregated individual health service information from the identity of these people.

### Claim 72 (depends on 71)

The one or more memories of claim 71 wherein the threshold minimum number of people is ten.
