Volunteers to Have VeriMed RFID Microchips Implanted for Purpose of
Patient Identification and Immediate Access to Personal Health
Records DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Applied Digital (NASDAQ:ADSX), through its subsidiary VeriChip
Corp., announced today that the VeriMed patient ID System will be
featured at the Pri-Med Mid-Atlantic 2006 convention from November
30 to December 2, 2006 at the Baltimore Convention Center. During
the three-day exhibit, physicians with VeriChip will be on hand to
implant VeriMed RFID microchips in conference attendees who have
volunteered for the procedure. The VeriMed Patient Identification
System, which utilizes an implantable RFID microchip in combination
with a handheld radio frequency identification (RFID) scanner and a
secure patient database, is designed to provide immediate access to
important health information on patients who arrive at an emergency
department unconscious, delirious or unable to communicate. "The
Pri-Med-sponsored conventions have historically been a tremendous
venue for communicating the benefits of the VeriMed system because
the audience of physicians and healthcare professionals are acutely
aware of the need for improving the way in which patient medical
records are accessed and stored," said Kevin McLaughlin, CEO of
VeriChip Corporation. "Our current participation at Pri-Med
Mid-Atlantic follows a successful exhibition at the Pri-Med East
convention in Boston in late October. We look forward to meeting
with the many influential healthcare professionals at the
Mid-Atlantic conference and discussing the unique attributes of the
VeriMed system." Pri-Med is a leading source of continuing medical
education for physicians and sponsors. Pri-Med conferences are
large medical conferences set up for primary care physicians in 7
major US regions. The purpose of these conferences is to allow
physicians to learn most about current critical medical issues, as
well as state-of-the-art medicines and medical technologies.
Pri-Med conferences have been taking place for about 12 years.
