In 1999, ER Card launched the first patient-centric electronic personal health record (ePHR) of its kind. Combining technology with “hands on” health care, the ER Card leads a national trend in health care to improve access to medical records and give patients more control over their personal medical information.

ER Card technology connects members to an innovative, secure wireless electronic personal healthcare management service.  A pioneer in the electronic personal health record (ePHR) category, ER Card has thousands of individuals and companies as subscribers.  Empowering the patient through improved communication with caregivers, ER Card provides individuals a safe, simple way to guarantee professional caregivers have instant access to their up-to-date personal health information.

ER Card subscribers enjoy peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones with programs that keep designated individuals informed of emergencies.  A proven timesaver and lifesaver, additional benefits include medication monitoring and an extensive healthcare concierge service – all focused on lowering medical expenses and improving personal healthcare at a reasonable cost to the consumer.

Our goal is to improve our subscriber’s health with a reasonably priced package of benefits available via direct purchase or as an employee benefit through businesses, municipalities and universities.  ER Card delivers peace of mind to our subscribers whenever and wherever they need medical care.

As an independent, unbiased, trusted source of information, the ER Card dramatically improves clinical outcomes for patients, efficiency of care for providers and financial outcomes for payers.

In 2007, the health care investment group, Angel Health Strategies LLC joined ER Card to help further develop its base operations in Rhode Island and expand on a national basis.
