Abstract
An eye and machine readable medical data, identification and health insurance card provides two "leaves", each of which has two faces upon which data may appear. The leaves, which are card-like members, are interconnected by a self-hinge, and may be folded with respect to each other or made to lie flat. The data includes eye-readable material on the card as well as on a microfilm strip associated with the card, and also machine-readable indicia such as the bearer's medical history, including, if so desired, an electro-cardiogram.
