holographic technology and medical records

Holotech data storage has applications to medical record keeping. Someone's complete medical record, including pictures and test effects, might be saved on a mobile holographic card. High- density mobile medical information that physically accompanies a patient can assist to improve continuity of care across different settings and to avoid adverse events such as harmful drug interactions.

We are reaching the tangible limits of storage capacity of information as individual bits on media surfaces. With holographic storage, information is imprinted in optically sensitive material as three- dimensional laser interference patterns. The capacity to save data permeating the detail of information recordable media, not merely on its surface, offers the possibility of orders-of-magnitude more storage density than traditional data media. Holographic data storage may offer more rapid data transfer speeds in addition to high storage density. Laser rays do not have inertia like the mechanical storing and retrieving elements of conventional, spinning media -- so the rays can be moved quickly to light up ordered pages of data. There are challenges, however. One challenge for holotechnology information storage is that the clarity of each page of information saved three-dimensionally throughout the depth of photosensitive media decreases when there are too many pages stored in the media.
