Privacy Management for Medical Service Application Using Mobile Phone Collaborated with RFID Reader

Abstract

The RFID and sensor network based ubiquitous computing has great potential in medical and healthcare services. Most of medical accidents around patients are depended on misidentification of patient or medical articles. The accidents can be reduced, if information about the patient is managed automatically. In this aspect, the mobile device with RFID reader is useful device as a medical assistant. However, the security and privacy problem related RFID application has become a serious issue in real service environment. In this paper, we propose a customized policy based privacy management architecture for medical and healthcare application. The proposed mechanism is a useful solution for user centric privacy management in medical environment.
