Smart card mobile data collection system concept for health and medical data collecting activities in rural area

Health and medical data is something essential data which should be well recorded. At rural area, the existing mechanism in storing those data is written down to the book. It is difficult to share and recap the data if still in the book. In order to store and more utilize the health and medical data it is should be provided the digital record system. The digital record system at least supported with record medium and device for data transfer. Record medium needs to be specified because the data is shareable for the doctor. Smart card is an alternative for record medium but should be integrated with the device for data transfer operation. In rural area that there was limitation of electrical power supply and due the mobility of the doctor activities, the device should compact and has low power consumption. So mobile data collection system (MDCS) concept is developed for some of those conditions. The main function of mobile data collection system is transferring data to smart card and to health information system. Mobile data collection system also should support to ensure the data integrity and validity. This mobile data collection system concept typically developed, based on requirement on fields.
