Abstract :
With the increasing demand and popularity in wireless mobile technologies, more and more applications have been developed in the market to use the technologies and to achieve higher work efficiency to facilitate client users to fetch and manage information anytime and anywhere. In this paper, an investigation and analysis report of NFC (Near Field Communication) technology in mHealthcare (mobile healthcare) area focusing on security, privacy and performance is presented. One of the main focuses presented in the paper is to incorporate QR (Quick Response) code into the existing NFC technology in the mHealthcare domain.
