Using NFC-Enabled Mobile Phones for Public Health in Developing Countries

Abstract: Abstract-One of the largest IT challenges in the health and medical fields is the ability to track large numbers of patients and materials. As mobile phone availability becomes ubiquitous around the world, the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) with mobile phones is emerging as a promising solution to this challenge. The decreasing price and increasing availability of mobile phones and NFC allows us to to apply these technologies to developing countries in order to overcome patient identification and diseas… Show more

“…This smartcards could be also read using mobile phones allowing further uses of the proposed systems. Other works propose the use of this technology to identify patients in healthcare services implemented in developing countries, where maintaining accurate electronic health records can be a difficult task (Zalzala et al, 2011;Marcus et al, 2009). In the same way QR codes can also be used to retrieve health records or medical information.…”
