Abstract
A collecting method records medical transaction declarations by: inputting private information of a patient; requiring two immediate and simultaneous fingerprints, one from each of two persons; displaying prompts for camera photographic images; acquiring the camera photographic images; recording a response through an apparatus display and user-selectable response; prompting for biometric reader activation; recording biometric fingerprints from each of the two persons on each of two physical reader devices, respectively; time-stamping a first fingerprint and a second fingerprint and electronically determining that the two fingerprints are recorded within a time period; computing an electronic decision about the physical proximity of the two persons based upon at least a time-stamp of the first fingerprint and a time-stamp of the second fingerprint; merging biometric signatures from the two persons into an electronic agreement; generating a signed electronic agreement; and outputting the signed electronic agreement to permanent storage to memorialize the medical transaction declaration.
