2. Description of the Related Art Recently, medical errors due to patient misidentification have been reported in hospitals and the like.
In many cases, the judgment is made based on the name given to the bed and the face by the nurse, and most of them rely on management by human judgment. There is a high possibility that a mistake will occur when the nurse is taken over, and the patient's perception will be ambiguous every time the nurse is taken over. In addition, it has been reported that the patient may be given his / her name in order to prevent misidentification. However, in the case of seriously ill patients and infants, it remains questionable whether the method is appropriate. In many cases, the lack of thorough patient recognition has led to many medical accidents. As a solution to such a problem, an IC card (contact, non-contact, (Including contact) on clothes or the like, or in a pendant shape and lowered from the neck has been proposed and put to practical use.

[0003]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned card, it is easy to remove it, and if the card itself is genuine, it can be used by another person. In such a case, it is very difficult to determine whether or not the person is the person. In other words, when the card is changed, the recognition of the patient becomes uncertain, and may be a bigger problem than human judgment.

In the case of a pendant, the MR
In the case of I or X-ray photography, it must be removed because it interferes with the examination. In the case where a plurality of components were removed, there were not a few problems that had to be solved, such as taking into account that there were mistakes due to negligence.

[0005] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and prevents a non-contact data carrier from being confused by directly attaching a non-contact data carrier storing personal data to a part of the body of the individual. Another object of the present invention is to provide a personal authentication system capable of improving the accuracy of personal authentication.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a personal authentication system according to the present invention writes personal data in advance on a non-contact data carrier, and based on the personal data written on the non-contact data carrier, A personal authentication device by directly attaching the non-contact data carrier to a part of the body of the individual and reading the personal data written on the non-contact data carrier with a portable reading device. It is characterized by performing.

It is preferable that the non-contact data carrier is formed in the shape of an artificial nail so that the non-contact data carrier can be directly attached to the nail portion of a hand or a foot, and that the individual can always be integrated with the individual so that the individual can be authenticated anytime and anywhere.

[0008] The non-contact data carrier may be a non-contact IC tag.

The personal data is data relating to an inpatient in a hospital, and a noncontact data carrier on which the personal data is written is attached to a part of the inpatient's body, so that the inpatient and the noncontact data carrier are always connected. What is necessary is just to make it a pair so that patient misidentification does not occur.
