ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- eMed-ID, the world's first medical identification franchise, announced today the launch of its low-cost, home-based franchise concept , providing consumers with a personal USB device containing their full medical history, which can then be easily shared with emergency responders and other medical professionals.

eMed-ID offers immediate access to confidential medical information that helps consumers avoid life-threatening delays in treatment, medical or surgical complications, allergic reactions and medication errors. The company provides support to HIPAA's national compliance program designed to have all patient medical records converted to digital images by 2015.

"eMed-ID is a full-time solution for those out of work or a part-time proposition for those looking for a second stream of income."
