When emerdat's medical data store is useful?:
If you happen to be a victim of an accident and are unconscious then dostors can easily
check your medical data by using your cellphone and running emerdat.

When emerdat's private data store is useful?:
If you have several creditcards then you can store your PIN codes in emerdat's database.
If you have several passwords to remember then you can store them in emerdat's database.
If you use emerdat in password protected mode then you have to remember one password
only and all your other passwords and PINs are available in your phone.

emerdat can be run in two modes:
1. Without password protection
  All data can be seen and modified by anybody who has access to your phone.
2. With password protection
  Only that person can modify your data who knows the password. 
  Only that person can see your private data (other passwords and PINs) who knows the password.
  Your medical data can be seen by anybody in this case also.

Here are the fields which are  stored as your medical data:
Note: It's up to you which fields you fill in and it's your responsibility to fill them
in accurately.
