Combating healthcare fraud

Worldwide, healthcare fraud costs insurance authorities and companies hundreds of millions of dollars every year. With conventional systems based on paper or memory cards, it is difficult for authorities to ascertain whether the patient is legally entitled for ensurance program. Electronic health cards (eHCs) are an increasingly effective way of preventing fraud – particularly as they evolve towards more sophisticated identification mechanisms. eHCs have the potential to improve the patient experience by storing key medical data and medication history, and by serving as an electronic prescription. These cards can also be used to securely store social security numbers. Given the sensitive nature of medical data stored on e-health cards, they must offer robust protection of privacy. Widespread adoption also calls for ease of administration and – most importantly – a mature telematics and telemedicine infrastructure to network all players in the care continuum and enable dynamic updates of data and functionality.

Partner of trust for todays eHC applications

As the world’s leading provider of security solutions for government identification projects, we have enabled some 60 percent of all smart healthcare cards worldwide, consistently accelerating time to market through ease of deployment. Our microcontrollers are designed to meet all e-healthcare requirements – from cost efficiency to future-proof storage capabilities extending over ten years. Our platforms also support all standard cryptographic methods and key lengths to enable the integration of social or payment card capabilities in multi-application schemes.

Leading technologies for tomorrows eHealth cards

Customers value in particular the ability of our controllers to protect sensitive data while delivering the memory, performance, and cost efficiency required for future-proof electronic health cards. Infineon's microcontrollers feature Integrity Guard, for instance, a self-checking dual CPU that not only stores but also internally processes sensitive data in encrypted form.

Designed specifically to ease security implementations and certification processes, Integrity Guard combined with our SOLID FLASH™ memory radically reduces the cost of ownership by accelerating time to market.

For ease of deployment, we also deliver fully integrated software solutions on native or on Java platforms.
