Nowadays, people's medical records are crucial when it comes to providing treatments, discovering pathologies, or keeping track of health status. Advances in technology have allowed these records to be increasingly digitized, to the point that they can be consulted by specialists from anywhere. This also allows people to report their health status, allergies, or treatments. However, knowing a person's medical history is a delicate and complex process, and accessing these digitized data is not always possible due to problems with network connectivity or physical communication with the person. In this work, we propose a solution for medical staff to obtain a patient's medical history through facial recognition, and without the need for an internet connection. This proposal is based on the development of an architecture that allows connecting nearby mobile devices of doctors and patients without an internet connection to obtain the desired information using facial recognition as an authentication method. The architecture has been validated with the development of a mobile application that, by focusing on the patient's face with the camera of the doctor's mobile device, makes it possible to obtain the patient's medical information. With this proposal, it is possible to obtain the medical history of a person in dangerous situations or where the connectivity is limited or non-existent, in a simple and fast way.

Abstract

Nowadays, people's medical records are crucial when it comes to providing treatments, discovering pathologies, or keeping track of health status. Advances in technology have allowed these records to be increasingly digitized, to the point that they can be consulted by specialists from anywhere. This also allows people to report their health status, allergies, or treatments. However, knowing a person's medical history is a delicate and complex process, and accessing these digitized data is not always possible due to problems with network connectivity or physical communication with the person. In this work, we propose a solution for medical staff to obtain a patient's medical history through facial recognition, and without the need for an internet connection. This proposal is based on the development of an architecture that allows connecting nearby mobile devices of doctors and patients without an internet connection to obtain the desired information using facial recognition as an authentication method. The architecture has been validated with the development of a mobile application that, by focusing on the patient's face with the camera of the doctor's mobile device, makes it possible to obtain the patient's medical information. With this proposal, it is possible to obtain the medical history of a person in dangerous situations or where the connectivity is limited or non-existent, in a simple and fast way.
