QRStream: A Secure and Convenient Method for Text Healthcare Data Transferring

Area of Science:

• Health Informatics
• Data Transfer Technologies
• Digital Health

Background:

• Growing user interest in personal health information and healthcare outcomes.
• Traditional paper-based health data transfer is inconvenient and prone to errors.
• Existing electronic health data transfer methods are limited by security and privacy concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a secure and convenient method for electronic health data transfer.
• To address the limitations of traditional paper-based and insecure digital methods.
• To facilitate seamless data exchange between users and healthcare organizations.

Main Methods:

• Development of QRStream, a novel method for health data transfer.
• Splitting original health data into segments.
• Encoding data segments onto QR code frames for streaming transmission.

Main Results:

• QRStream enables smooth transfer of text-based health data.
• The method demonstrates acceptable performance, transferring 10KB of data in 10 seconds.
• Successful validation of QRStream for electronic health record (EHR) data exchange.

Conclusions:

• QRStream provides a viable solution for secure and convenient health data sharing.
• The proposed method enhances usability and reduces errors in health data management.
• QRStream has the potential to improve patient engagement and healthcare data accessibility.
