PRESERVING AND SECURING PATIENT ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS USING BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION

Abstract

In recent years most of the emerging technologies are improved to preserve the patient
details in an emergency case. This paper aims to provide the preserved identification of the patient
medical report in an emergency case using fingerprint based biometric system. This system provides
the electronic medical report using fingerprint when the patient is in unconscious stage. Especially
when the victim unable to provide their medical reports in an emergency situation this fingerprint
based biometric system is helpful for the healthcare professionals to take further treatment for the
patient in case of emergency. In this paper feature extraction algorithm plays a major role that is
used to secure the medical records of the patient from the unauthorized access when they are in
unconscious stage.
