Vestavěný biometrický systém pro identifikaci osob ve zdravotnickém zařízení založený na principech otisku prstu

Abstract

The subject of this diploma thesis is to create a complex integrated device and system that will ensure a secure process of patient identification within the therapeutic procedures and everyday routine activities of the medical employees. In my own work I primarily focuse on description of principles for modern methods of personal identification, fingerprint image processing technology and I also devote on network equipment and communication interfaces related to the network storage, database and Wi-Fi module for wireless transmission of patient's personal information between end system and databases. The result of the work is a physical device that is fully portable and allows the biometric identification of patients who are directly registered in the central database. This can be fully edited through a desktop application and a workstation located in healthcare departments. The purpose of this work was to design and create a modern and safer identification tool that would be able to fully replace existing solutions in the form of wristbands either manually typed with a barcode or RFID chip. The whole system is designed to best meet the newly adopted EU Privacy Act, the so-called GDPR.
