title: [The micro-computer card. Possible applications to transfusion from A to Z].
abstract: Following characteristics of micro-computer cards: inaccessibility to selected secret information; strong resistance to aggressive external agents; impossibility of altering stored data without destroying it; instant reading and reproduction by authorized services; make them a perfect material for building up individual records of civil and biological data. Their application to blood transfusion allows increased safety not only for blood donation registrations, but above all when transfusion takes place; they may also be used as credit cards for health expenditures. They consequently serve as real LIFE cards.
