Application of biometric recognition for patient management system

Abstract

Background: Studies have been conducted on a way to solve the problem related to healthcare in Malaysia. The healthcare in Malaysia has a few problems that affect the patients’ satisfaction such as patients cannot access their own medical records, long waiting times at the registration counter and time-consuming for an emergency rescue mission by the paramedics. Purpose: This research is a patient management system which is called MedCo can solve this problem by enabling the patient’s personal information and brief medical records are accessible to the patient, paramedic and all users who are using the system by scanning the patient’s fingerprint. Conclusion: This can be used for registration at the registration counter as well as it can save a lot of time. The staff can scan the patient’s fingerprint to access the patient’s personal information and send it to the queue system. This system can be developed by using Dart programming language through Flutter for cross-platform development. This system will be build using Visual Studio Code and it requires the use of local_auth libraries to code for biometric recognition. Firebase and Google chrome will be used in the development process. This system will be developed for the mobile user that can support Android and iOS while for the desktop user, web applications will be developed.
