"...There are several smart steps to take to build a roadmap to your assets. The five key components: information about your assets, names of advisers, details about safe-deposit boxes, your estate-planning documents, and a few other important documents... think carefully about how to store the list. Heirs need to be able to find it, and you need to be able to update it with a minimum of hassle, but it should be generally accessible..."

How the VitalLife ID™ Card Works


Card FeaturesThe VitalLife ID Card™ is a Wallet Flash Card, the size of a credit card, with a reversible USB 2.0 Connector. This card has a storage capacity of up to 500 digitized pages of information if needed. The connector is designed to fit any computer USB port, even upside down.

The data is stored in industry standard HTML and PDF files, and should be viewable on any computer. A Microsoft Windows based computer operating systems will pop-up the information automatically (if enabled) and is required to access the encrypted portion of the card. At this time, the VitalLife ID card is not supported for Macintosh (Apple) operating systems.

The Information to be stored on the VitalLife ID™ Card

Through the completion of individual forms your information will be stored on your VitalLife ID Card™. You have the ability to customize your card by only entering the data you wish to have stored. The VitalLife ID Card™ is divided into the following three sections for convenience, organization, and security.

Section One:
Personal Medical Data Needed in the Event of an Emergency

Your most critical emergency information is pulled and stored in this section so that First Responders will have immediate access and be able to make the best treatment decisions possible. This section includes but is not limited to, medication currently being taken, blood type, emergency contacts, and any special needs and/or chronic health issues.

Section Two:
Historical Personal Medical Data Necessary for Hospital and Doctor Visits

This section of the VitalLife ID Card™ stores a complete medical history including previous interaction with hospitals and doctors. Section 2 can also be used to keep a record of your health insurance information and a detailed list of emergency contacts. More extensive medical information that is digitized, such as X-Rays, MRIs, and CT Scans would also be stored in this section.

Section Three:
Password Protected/Encrypted File

The third section of the VitalLife ID Card™ allows you to organize your life by documenting financial and legal contacts, additional insurance, and funeral instructions. You may also store copies of all important documents and list the location of the originals for future reference. This section can only be accessed with a personal password. You may designate additional individuals to have access and choose to maintain a duplicate card if you wish.
