When being treated on the field, military personnel will each have an individual memory stick loaded with their health records as a back-up until they reach a military medical or NHS facility.
The medical staff on the field can also input information about any treatment a patient may receive by putting the memory stick into a PDA or wrist-worn PDA system (pictured), which they can wear while treating a patient and inputting medical information.
The memory stick is still under development but the MoD envisages it will be incorporated into a soldier's dog-tag to make sure it doesn't get lost.
Robert Baxter, deputy chief of defence staff at the MoD, said: "The DMICP gives us the chance to have information that is timely, accurate and relevant".
