According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a portable electronic device and method for the secure, patient-centric consolidation and management of electronic health records (EHRs). The device solves the critical problem of health data fragmentation by aggregating a patient's complete medical history from multiple, disparate healthcare institutions into a single, tamper-resistant unit. It comprises a secure data storage module, a hardware-backed security module for encryption and granular access control, and multiple communication interfaces for both online and offline data transfer. Uniquely, the device integrates an on-board artificial intelligence (Al) engine that analyzes consolidated records to generate proactive alerts for drug interactions and allergies, and a natural language interface for instant querying of medical information. This invention ensures immediate access to vital health data in emergencies, eliminates redundant medical tests, and empowers patients with full control over their personal health information, thereby enabling safer, more efficient, and interoperable healthcare."
