It’s summer, 2010, and an Oriole fan collapses at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The usher calls 911. The fan is taken to an emergency room.

Notification has been transmitted to the attending physician. An implanted device has alerted Dr. Smith that an adverse event has occurred with one of his patients. Data is up-linked to a local ISP. The link has sent notification of a critical value, the patient’s location and an identifier which indexes to the “patient-specific diagnostics and therapeutics” registry and repository.
