Healthcare Individual SmartCard with Integrated Telemedicine Application for Emergency Purposes
摘要
Having readily accessed personal health information is crucial for successful first aid. Healthcare Individual Smartcard (HIC) provides a digital solution that can be widely accessible even in lower- and middle-income countries. Patients can use a telemedicine application developed alongside the HIC to update their health information. Said data is uploaded to a cloud server and can be retrieved through a QR code by health workers. The same QR codes can also be scanned by a passer-by in case of emergency to quickly locate the patient and contact the nearest ambulance. This card uses encryption technology and secure data management in order to protect the users’ private health information. The HIC developed here has the potential to provide crucial data for better and faster emergency response as well as serve as a connection between patients and hospitals.
