US 2026/0039655 A1 · ONLINE AUTHENTICATION FOR MEDICAL DEVICES

Abstract

A medical device includes a QR generator and a user access/activity log. The QR generator generates a QR code at least from a username of a user and at least one OTP (one-time password) for the user and enables access of the user to the medical device upon receiving an OTP from the user. The user sends the QR code to an online authorization server for the medical device for decryption upon authentication of the user. The log lists user activity once the user is authenticated by the server. The server receives the QR code, which includes at least an encrypted text containing at least the OTP and a user identification, and decrypts the encrypted text using a private key associated with the medical device. The authorization server enables the user to log in for authentication and, if authenticated, displays the at least one OTP to the user.
