MEDICAL ID CARD

Medical ID Card includes a device for reading/writing information (the reader) on a contactless plastic card and software that allows a doctor and/or an insurance agent to edit the concerned data. The reader provides stable and reliable data transfer from/to the card.

It is a personalized plastic card containing encrypted information in non-volatile memory with the possibility of multiple data addition. It keeps information about:

The data on the surface of a card are used to identify the patient (cardholder):

• a photo;
• name and surname;
• phone;
• address of residence;
• other that allows identifying a person.

Access to the patient information is available only to the doctor at the time of examination or the patient’s visit. Cryptographic protection of Medical ID Card prevents unauthorized reading of data. Access to information is possible only using the special reader (device) and after authorization of the user (a doctor or an agent).

During the recording of information on the patient’s Medical ID Card, the principle of distributed data storage is used. After synchronization in the cloud, the file from the Card is deleted. Data in the “cloud” is being encrypted so that access to is possible only with the physical “key” – i.e Medical ID Card. Locally, on the card, there is a record about the “transaction” only.

Medical ID Card can be used for two subsystems – local and global. Local is a subsystem of recording, storing and displaying individual patient information. Global is a subsystem of collecting, analyzing and statistical processing of information from local subsystems. The local subsystem provides coverage of patients within the same hospital, clinic, rehabilitation center. The global subsystem includes a network of hospitals at the regional or national level.
