The purpose of introducing smart card application in our lifestyle is to improve and develop the way of life to a more convenient style. This approach can be applied to various areas such like mobile communication, public transportation, finance, public sector, and even health care system. In this project, the main target is to design an application and basic system of interfacing between patient and medical institution, which is the Patient Smart Card. It will act as a synergy between clients or patients' personal information with the server or medical centre that complies with the system. Patient Smart Card application development involves several stages. Defining the methodology, there will be four phases, which are analyzing, designing, coding and testing. The cores of the project are the database development, smart card application and its interface program. Data structure of the system is obtained through research and detailed assessment. Entirely, the back end of the system is concerning the source code and interface design. To achieve those with fine results, there are tools required during the whole process. Thus, the result will be concluded based on the objectives set. Besides smart card and its reader, the system comprises of several forms which will act as the interface between database and client. The forms encompass the main menu, registration process, administration purpose, PIN number security system, patient particular information and related data regarding to mass patient medical records. All of them have the same focal purpose which is to ease and create simplicity for the current medical information record system applied at most of the health centers. Suggested works for further enhancement and realization are also stated.
