Abstract
The procedures for individual’s identification and medical information storage must ensure prompt, easy and safe identification of those who need emergency medical services. This requires a means to identify people based on a cheap technology, using easy matching analysis that does not require complex electronic devices. This is possible by means of fingerprint scanning. The paper proposes a method of storing relevant medical information based on biometric identification and for this reason we have developed an optimal system that allows the person identification based on fingerprint, the storage/access to information in a centralized database and the delivery of reports containing relevant personal and medical data. The developed biometric system provides a method for storing relevant primary health information based on biometric identification that lead to a prompt, easy and secure determination of the identity of people who require medical emergency intervention and their relevant medical information. This solution provides the possibility of taking the right decisions and immediate actions by authorized medical staff due to the access to personal information (name, ID, address, phone number, picture, contact person) and relevant medical information (blood type, RH, allergies, chronic diseases, organ donor option, resuscitation option) stored in a central database.
