Health departments and agencies in many countries are issuing MULTOS cards to protect sensitive data and provide additional value-enhancing services to patients.

  • Future Proof: MULTOS guarantees on all current and future products interoperability for both applications and card management (via STEP). That means hospitals have the widest selection of cards from a multitude of interoperable vendors, ensuring multiple sources, multiple products, and a future-proof strategy for migrating to additional functionality.
  • Multi-application: Health providers can store several applications on the same card, applications like ID, sensitive health information, biometric authentication, and audit. Each application is completely secured from others on the card. Only MULTOS tests every card for multi-application security.
  • Authentication and Auditability: MULTOS enables doctors and patients to prove identity and automatically create audit trails, allowing insurance providers the information they need to quickly process claims without unnecessary and costly audit inquiries.
  • Multi-agency: Hospitals can lower costs by allowing applications from different service partners on a single card, such as insurance information to a separate insurance provider or ID. Each entity securely maintains its own information on the card, while sharing cards considerably reduces issuance and management costs.
  • Contact and Contact/Contactless:
  • Manageability : When different partners become ready to use the card to integrate to their systems, they can simply and safely download their application to each card. Updates to existing hospital applications can also be performed quickly and remotely. MULTOS uses proven STEP technology for the most secure and efficient post-issuance available, requiring minimal infrastructure for secure distribution.
  • Government Approved: Numerous MULTOS vendors and cards have received governmental accreditations meeting ICAO, PIV, FIPS 201 , Common Criteria, ITSEC, and EMV standards, offering standardized applications or customizable applications packages.
