Update data on the card #4

Open LilithWittmann opened 3 years ago

First of all: Thanks for this great project!

Are there any plans to add features to update the data stored on the card? If not, would you accept such a PR?

Hey @LilithWittmann !

Thank you very much for the appreciation and thank you for your investigation of certain mobile apps 👍

Generally speaking we do accept PRs.

We currently do not have any plans on expanding the feature set of this package. To be honest I am a bit hesitant handing out a simple way to manipulate potentially critical (health) data. From what I remember there is a protected part of files/data on the current health cards which can only be manipulated by connecting to the Telematik infrastructure, passing through some kind of key exchange etc. Accessing the Telematik infrastructure is not easy and pretty expensive. However, we wrote the code almost 3 years ago - so maybe my information is not up-to-date.

What data would you like to update?

Hey @SteinRobert! Aaaw thank you <3 .

Mainly I'm interested in creative implementations to update the EF.PD data. (e.g. name, gender marker, address of the patient)

Yes it's "kind of" protected but hopefully not as much as the documentation tells us. 😉

Sure thing :)

I'd love to see that kind of creative implementation 😄 If you find a way let me know, I'm sure we could add that to the package.

Hey @LilithWittmann - is this still something you're looking into? I would probably move this issue to "discussion" then.
