Portable Medical Information (PMI) is a web service that provides medical information of the registered users to the certified doctors and the user him or herself. The PMI allows users to create a profile and fill with their medical information and verified by the doctors, to be used as future reference by the doctors in case of an emergency. This PMI would connect multiple hospitals from all over Malaysia or possibly the whole world so that the doctors could access to obtain the information of the patient. We hope the information provided by the PMI could help doctors to shorten the time needed for diagnosis, making predictions of the future of a patient and ultimately help doctors to save lives.

How It Works?
Portable Medical Information acts similar as a social networking website as the users can upload photos and videos, create a forum or groups with other users share information and for discussion supervised by doctors, but the user can only create 1 account. The user can also makes appointment to a chosen hospital via PMI as it is much easier and takes much lesser time than going to the hospital itself. The users can also make a status updates to share to the doctors about their current conditions. The users can also make a private chat with the doctors.
There is several functions that separates the doctors from the users:
The doctors can use PMI as an information provider. In case of an emergency, the doctors can access the patient's profile to gain information about the patient and to shorten the time taken for the diagnosis of the patient. The doctors does not need to re-examine the patient as the condition of the patient is available in the PMI unless the patient has not yet update his or her profile after a certain event occurred and the information are trustworthy as the information are verified by other doctors. Thus, PMI also help in making the doctors's job in handling the patients a lot easier and could gain information of the patient quickly and avoid fake information at the same time. The PMI also help the doctors in making a prediction for the future conditions of the patient.

How Do I Create A Profile?
To create a profile, the user have to create it a the hospital as medical checkups and verification need to be done by a doctor to avoid the user from forging fake information that will cause fatal damages in the future, not only to the user him or herself but also to others. Users register to the PMI website using the user' Identity card as the username and the password is set by themselves to ease the access into their profile. The management of creating a profile is organized by setting an appointment for the users. This will avoid the users from fighting over the turn to create a profile.
