A smart card is a small plastic card with an embedded integrated circuit (IC) chip. This integrated circuit (IC) chip is a microprocessor that makes the smart card suitable for different electronic applications. The chip on the card is used to store, manage, calculate, and safely access some personal valuable data or information when needed by a card reading machine or other system. Smart cards use encrypted algorithms for data management and are considered safer than magnetic strip cards. Smart cards are widely used to handle sensitive information such as identity, finances, and personal health information due to their added security features. Smart cards are also used in several key applications such as health care services, banking and financial corporations, entertainment, telecommunications, government authorities, and transportation.
Smart cards in the health care market sector have gained massive popularity in the last decade. This can be attributed to several value added features that smart card usage can offer to patients as well as providers. With the health care boom in the last few decades, maintenance of health data has become a necessity, yet tiring process in large facilities. Health care organizations globally are extensively using smart health cards that offer an extensive range of applications. Smart cards in health care can help enhance the security and confidentiality of patient data, maintain accurate patient identification across different facilities and geographies, provide secure access to emergency medical information, easy bill payment using the card for a financial transaction, reduce health care fraud, offer a secure medium for convenient medical records, and permit better compliance with government initiatives and instructions.
