Scan to register
A camera at the desk reads the ID barcode and the insurance QR, and fills the health-record registration. A credential format nobody has seen before is learned once and recognised from then on.
Status: Prototype. Built and tested end to end, not yet running in production.
What it reads
- The national ID barcode — document number, sex and date of birth are reliable; accented names are best-effort, because the barcode is plain ASCII.
- The insurance credential QR, which each provider designs differently.
- A photo instead of a live camera, when the phone or the network will not cooperate. If the barcode will not decode, a vision model reads the card image.
Learning an unknown credential
An unrecognised QR goes through four stages, and the model is the last one, not the first: known providers, then rules learned from earlier scans, then a structural reading of the raw fields, and only then a model call. Whatever the model works out is saved as a rule, so the next patient with that card parses instantly and for free.
Patients can register themselves
The same reader runs on the patient’s own phone, which focuses on a dense barcode far better than a desk webcam. A self-registration lands in a queue at the desk, where reception confirms it into the health record.
