Hi Sudhir, The technology for this is already available and cheap from everywhere. The main thing that needs to be done is to develop the client that is specially integrated with care2x to make the whole procedure simple for the hospital clerk.
If we just for a while forget about work efficiency and ignore the clerk (who at the end will be the one going to suffer on the design), one can now use a common webcamera client, take a photo, save it on the hard disk, start the care2x registration module, enter registration data, browse the photo taken before, then press "Save". The whole thing works, but with lots of unnecessary subprocedures. So, the target is to develop a camera client that reduces the procedures needed to the minimum possible. (ideally reduce to 2 mouse clicks) I presume that Kurt Brauchli and his team is already advanced in this area. Let us ask him about his opinion.
