Smart Card based E-Health Record

Abstract

Health care system is one of the critical issues for developing countries and thus the information technology is becoming progressively more important nowadays. The deployment of smart health cards simplifies the prescription process, improves the standard of care given, and facilitates electronic healthcare records management through a coordinated health service process. Using the smart health card patient’s data, doctor’s prescription, patients present and former health history is accessible. When an infant is born a record is formed with details like blood group, vaccination dates, complications involved, allergies and other important details. This card plays a crucial role during unexpected incidents like accidents and reduces child traffic problems. The cloud computed system enrolled within helps to secure data of patients and prevent data intrusion. For authentication and security purposes the hospital's unique code, Aadhar card number and Doctor's access code is provided which could be accessed only within the Hospitals. The e-health card facilitates privacy protection by filtering access to sensitive data which is accessible only to authorized people like Doctors and Cardholders.
