A computerized information processing and retrieval system is described. The system includes a data acquisition device that collects various types of data. After collecting the data, this device transfers the data to a data accumulation device. The data accumulation device effectively stores and transfers data between digital devices. Finally, a computer system processes the data stored on the data accumulation device, retrieves any relevant information, and produces a report for a user. Consequently, this multipurpose system includes components easily adaptable to numerous applications such as wellness monitoring, emergency medical treatment, financial planning, an informational resource system, inventory management, management of service providers, as well as other suitable applications. The computerized information processing and retrieval system easily adapts into a wellness monitoring system that can track fitness, nutrition, medicine, blood-lipid levels, as well as other values. As a medical treatment system, the computerized information processing and retrieval system enables more effective treatment of patients in either an emergency vehicle or a medical facility. Another application of the computerized information processing and retrieval system includes an informational resource system that efficiently retrieves detailed information associated with a simple informational identifier.
