Consequently, LifeSensor enhances the patient's control and independence. The patient can authorize access to his file for one or more doctors of his choice. Additionally, he decides what data each doctor may see and what remains closed to him. This applies to all common examinations and findings from x-ray or ultrasound examinations. Access to LifeSensor is provided via a Web browser.
Optimum security is guaranteed by a log-in and a smart card.
