Biometric Based Patient Record Management

Abstract

Biometrics based patient record management aims to replace the redundant and tedious patient records management systems. When a patient visits a doctor, he/she needs to carry previous reports and prescriptions. These records may get misplaced or destroyed. Our system aims to provide a platform where all these records can be stored and updated whenever required by the doctor and the patient. The doctor will be provided with an environment where he will be able to add, remove and update records and the patient will be able to view them whenever required. Medical records are personal details and need to be kept confidential and if mixed with someone else’s records may have fatal consequences. For this reason, the proposed system is using fingerprint for matching a patient with his/her records. The patient will have a separate app that will allow to view the prescription and also provide methods to order the medicines.
