Medical records are preventive actions that are recorded into files stored by the health service providers. Medical records are needed by the doctor to find out the patient's historical data so that they can be served further. A medical history reporting error can result in a patient's medical care failure. To reduce administrative errors, loss of data, and the effectiveness of medical services requires tools that can provide solutions. Near Field Communication, called NFC, was the development of Bluetooth and RFID. NFC allows cell phones to store necessary data safely and be sent to other phones equipped with NFC or read by an NFC reader. Also, this NFC allows cell phones to be developed of payment (emoney) or electronic medical record (EMR). On this study has developed an Electronic Medical Record system based on Near Field Communication and EMR with NFC is expected to the replaced conventional medical record. The advantage of NFCbased EMR is the need for a short time in use, not depending on Internet access and ease in the transmission of EMR to those in need. Patient data processing is faster, accurate, and integrated with cost management to medical services providers.

In this paper we discuss the introduction of the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in the management of the assistance operations in the hospitals. NFC is a new short range communication system based on RFID technology. NFC systems can work like traditional RFID systems, where a master device reads some information from a slave device, but they can also set up a two-way communication between two items. In particular, NFC devices can be integrated on mobile phones, widely enhancing the intercommunication capabilities of the users. The introduction of NFC in sanitary environments can help to make safer all the assistance operations. Next to the realization of a NFC electronic case history, we also studied the realization of electronic medical prescription and the use of this technology for the exchange of patient data between doctors and between nurses, in order to avoid errors in the attendance operations. The final idea is to change a mobile phone into an interactive multipurpose assistant for people working in hospitals or in harness with patients.

Near Field Communication(NFC)Technology
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a new technology that has emerged in the last decade. NFC is a short range, high frequency, low bandwidth and wireless communication technology between two NFC enabled devices. Communication between NFC devices occurs at 13.56 MHz high frequency which was originally used by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). NFC works on both active and passive devices using various modes of operations. Also, NFC can happen between only two devices at a time. Potential NFC applications and services making use of NFC technology include e-payment, e-ticketing, loyalty services, identification, access control, content distribution, smart advertising, data/money transfer and social services. Due to its applicability to a wide range of areas and the promising value added opportunities, it has attracted many academicians, researchers, organizations and commercial companies. Technology usage is now in the pilot phase in many countries. Usability issues and technology adoption are being explored by many academicians and industrial organizations. As NFC enabled mobile phones spread and commercial services are launched, people will be able to pay for goods and services, access hotel rooms or apartments, update their information in social networks, upload their health data to hospital monitoring systems from their homes, and benefit from many more services by using their NFC enabled phones. The success of NFC technology is bound to advances in other fields as well. Over-the- Air technology among ecosystem factors is definitely a prerequisite to operate NFC systems satisfactorily. Secure Element (SE) is also a requirement to store valuable digital information on the same smart card securely. Dependence on other technologies is one of the challenges that NFC currently faces. All of these are discussed in detail in the following report.
Although doctors are increasingly interested in electronic systems of registering medical record, but in practice such systems are used less. Mobile devices provide a new way for accessing users to data of health cares and services in a secure environment and user-selection. Mobile health cares' systems (M-health) are considered as a solution to reduce health care costs without reducing the quality of patient care. In this paper we are going to develop a common architecture for mobile health cares' services using NFC in order to facilitate providing health cares to people anywhere and anytime using the mobile devices that are connected to wireless communication technology, to be able to provide required services by a secure and available structure for patient' information in hospitals and health centers and treatment, especially intensive care units, emergency or patients needed home care. Also it can be avoided from forgery and misuse of physicians' stamp in current versions with this system by preparing electronic version using NFC technology.
Near Field Communication (NFC) Technology: A Survey
Near Field Communication, NFC-is one of the latest short range wireless communication technologies. NFC provides safe communication between electronic gadgets. NFC-enabled devices can just be pointed or touched by the users of their devices to other NFC-enabled devices to communicate with them. With NFC technology, communication is established when an NFC-compatible device is brought within a few centimetres of another i.e. around 20 cm theoretically (4cm is practical). The immense benefit of the short transmission range is that it prevents eavesdropping on NFC-enabled dealings. NFC technology enables several innovative usage scenarios for mobile devices. NFC technology works on the basis of RFID technology which uses magnetic field induction to commence communication between electronic devices in close vicinity. NFC operates at 13.56MHz and has 424kbps maximum data transfer rate. NFC is complementary to Bluetooth and 802.11 with their long distance capabilities. In card emulation mode NFC devices can offer contactless/wireless smart card standard. This technology enables smart phones to replace traditional plastic cards for the purpose of ticketing, payment, etc. Sharing (share files between phones), service discovery i.e. get information by touching smart phones etc. are other possible applications of NFC using smart phones. This paper provides an overview of NFC technology in a detailed manner including working principle, transmission details, protocols and standards, application scenarios, future market, security standards and vendor's chipsets which are available for this standard. This comprehensive survey should serve as a useful guide for students, researchers and academicians who are interested in NFC Technology and its applications [1].
Smart Implanted NFC-based System to Expedite Medical Treatment
2018
During emergency many times doctor requires patients medical history before initiating any treatment. It is tedious to carry medical record all the time. At times it’s impossible, hence to overcome this problem we have proposed a NFC based system which consists of chip implanted in patients body. This chip will contain patients details such as his name, address, blood group, medical history, allergies and other details which will be prioritized as primary and secondary data. Primary data can be availed on the NFC chip itself and secondary data will be present on cloud in case its necessary. By scanning implanted chip,doctor can easily obtain all the details of the patient. It will reduce the doctors time for carrying out tests before treatment. Thus, this model will pace up the actual treatment. 1 International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Volume 118 No. 24 2018 ISSN: 1314-3395 (on-line version) url: http://www.acadpubl.eu/hub/ Special Issue http://www.acadpubl.eu/hub/
