“…The system also minimises the risk of cross-infection by eliminating the use of paper and pens that go into different hands and touch different places, increasing the risk of infection. Using the QR Code has dramatically increased the number of evaluations ( Ramalingam et al, 2020 ). According to a study done by Bellot et al (2015) , creating and scanning a QR Code is easy; 83% of participants of the study agreed to the benefits of QR Code in healthcare education and were likely to use QR Code technology in the future.…”

“…A QR code is a binary graph composed of black and white modules. Due to the high capacity and fast decoding speed of QR codes, they are widely used in many fields such as ID [22], food traceability [23], commodity management [24], advertising [25] and mobile payment [26]. There are 40 versions of the QR code.…”

In the field of medical image content protection and security sharing, the introduction of blockchain technology has a problem in that the secret key may be lost and cannot be recovered. Therefore, this paper proposes an authenticable medical image-sharing scheme based on an embedded small shadow QR code and a blockchain framework. First, a small shadow image is obtained by employing a secret image-sharing method based on the Chinese remainder theorem. Then, the shadow image is embedded into a QR code with error correction. This not only ensures the security and integrity of the shadow image transmission in the public channel but also avoids the problem where the secret key is lost and cannot be recovered. Compared with some existing excellent schemes, our scheme adopts a hash bit stream for authentication purposes and employs smart contracts to authenticate and restore secret images, thus reducing the local load. In addition, experiments validate that the recovered secret medical image is lossless and that the cover QR code is more robust and secure. This method is suitable for medical image content protection and security sharing.

Medicine is rapidly adopting newer technologies such as Quick Response (QR) codes to effectively and efficiently manage, share and store information. QR codes can have a wide variety of applications in the healthcare, medical education and pharmaceutical industry. This article aims to explore the applications of Quick Response code in Medicine and other affiliated sectors. Through this survey we have tried to score the attitude and awareness of healthcare professionals towards the viability of QR codes. The study sample was of n = 142 respondents. Majority of respondents were aware about the utility of QR codes in day-today aspects and academics with Online transactions being the predominant usage. 84.5% respondents were aware of the technology involved in QR codes and 83.1% respondents had used the QR code in different scenarios. Despite the awareness only 21.1% respondents knew how to create a QR code. Overwhelming majority of 80.3% respondents replied that they would prefer access to educational material and recording of attendance through QR codes. According to the findings, awareness of technology and use of QR codes is not a significant factor in QR code acceptance in accessing study material and attendance. But we have a significant p-value (p value = 0.017) when acceptance of QR codes in medical education was significant among healthcare professionals who were exposed to QR codes in the Department of Pharmacology. Our findings further suggest that most healthcare professionals have convenient access to the technology essential to generate QR codes, and yet, about 21.1% of healthcare professionals are unaware of the technique for QR code generation. Based on this finding, we conclude that knowledge of QR codes and use of QR codes outside of the medical setup doesn't affect the acceptability of QR codes in healthcare professionals, but when they're exposed to QR codes in the medical setup, there is a significant correlation in acceptance of QR codes for study materials and attendance. From our results, we can conclude that most healthcare workers and medical students approve of more integration of QR codes in medical workflow and agree with the convenience and ease of use and easier access to information.
