A portable healthcard on the patient mobile device can integrate Patient Health Records (PHRs) dispersed on various Hospital Information Systems (HIS) to provide a highly available medical history for correct diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we present a broad overview of the design issues for the security framework of a novel NFC and Secure Element-based healthcard on a mobile device known as S-MAPLE (Secure Mobility-Assisted PortabLE) healthcard. We provide detailed design for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with selective read and write access. Evaluation results on Android-based devices indicate satisfactory performance results for delays due to security overheads.
