Abstract:
Mobile devices have already been designed for many applications. Smartphones and tablet computers are
modern, widespread and affordable solutions used for various purposes. Nowadays mobile devices are widely
used in telemedicine. It is usually assumed, that the device is owned and used by a single person. We focus
on security concerns and constraints from a different point of view – when the device is shared. In this paper,
we are proposing a novel approach to prevent leakage of patient’s confidential data when the device is used by
multiple patients at the hospital’s clinic or department. We present a prototype application and discuss its use
case and designed workflow.
