Abstract

Primary health institution as the main health care institution that addresses the health challenges of individuals in rural areas and those with limited financial capacity in Nigeria houses quality information. However, this information is not properly managed and is not easily available for patients and health personnel. This is because the traditional filing system is still prevalently used and in cases where databases are used, access to a computer system is still limited. With the popularity of mobile devices, an avenue for easy and quick access to medical records presents itself. However, this also gives rise to record security issues. Taking advantage of the fingerprint scanner on most of these devices, this paper presents the development of a mobile primary health care system - PriHealth. The system uses fingerprint authentication to secure access to the back-end of the system which is the database that holds medical records. The accuracy of the approach showed an encouraging result of 97%.
