A bandage with an insertable medical data card consisting of a bandage with a central pocket, a slit for accessing the pocket, a flap for sealing the pocket, and a transparent faceplate on the pocket. The medical data card contains pertinent medical data of a user adapted to be inserted into the pocket of the bandage and the bandage worn upon the body of the user. The bandage is changeable every three to four days and the medical data card can be transferred from one bandage to another. The system provides a wearable medical data card which instantly informs first responders and medical caregivers of the user's pertinent medical information, saving precious time while life saving measures based on the pertinent medical information gleaned from the medical data card are being implemented.

Provided is a card with a built-in electronic component, which has a superior button click sensation. A card of the present invention into which is built-in a module substrate upon which an electronic component has been disposed is provided with: a front cover sheet stacked upon a side above the module substrate; an adhesion layer adhering between the module substrate and the front cover sheet; and a dome switch which is disposed upon the module substrate, and by way of the card upper surface being pressed, the switch's movable portion deforms to the module substrate side so that the electrical contact comes into tactile contact with the module substrate in order to operate the card; wherein the switch's movable portion is such that the upper surface does not adhere to the adhesion layer and the deformation to the module substrate side is unrestrained with respect to the adhesion layer.
