Hi All,

I am looking into some requirements from my Client(Doctor) and he wants a feature where in when the patient walkin for his scheduled appointment to the clinic instead of entering all his personal details like Name,DOB,Email address into a form if its possible to transfer the data from his phone to clinics iphone when they are broght near to each other(Similar to what Apple doen when we setup new iPhone's). For sure this will be done in secured manner as we need to be HIPPA complaint. I looked in NFC but iSO only support NFC tag reading capabilty but not writing.

or is there something in ResearchKit??

Any ideas?? This will really Help.

Thanks

Amit

Are you trying to reinvent Air Drop sharing of contacts?

I don't know if the AirDrop implementation meets your specification, because I'm not sure what all HIPPA requires, but yeah, you can initiate AirDrop programmatically. There's a starting section Supporting Airdrop in the App Programming Guide.

If that doesn't work, you're basically dealing with a two device ntweorking situation. What do you need to do one each device (the doctor/staff member and the patient) to ensure privacy? Your two main choices are going to be Bluetooth or Wifi networking, one way or the other.
