The SEQR service will be using near field communication tech according to the company’s announcement.

An SEQR mobile payments service company based in Stockholm, Seamless, has just announced that its product will now include the use of NFC technology for more transaction options.

The latest predictions from the company say that it will be implementing the contactless tech any day now.

The company has said that the solution is ready and that consumers should expect to start seeing the NFC technology in stores any time now. At the moment, it uses SEQR, which is a method that applies QR codes that are affixed to the terminals at the point of sale in a store. This allows smartphone users to scan the barcodes in order to be able to complete a purchase transaction.

As with the former version of the service, the company’s app is required to use the NFC technology.

In order to make payments using the NFC technology, smartphone users must have an enabled device in which they have downloaded the Seamless app. From there, they can choose to either scan the QR code or they can tap the device to the NFC stickers, which will produce the same results. This action automatically uses funds from the user’s account to pay for the purchase.

Though the QR codes should still be available, the new solution will allow NFC technology stickers to be used instead by devices that are capable of using them. According to the president and CEO of Seamless, Peter Fredell, “This will make us a completely technology-independent option for retailers and users.”

Fredell also pointed out that “It still costs the retailer nothing to introduce SEQR, and no expensive hardware or complicated installation is needed. With the Seamless NFC solution, we have also solved the big security problems that were previously associated with NFC technology.”

The company has stated that its new mobile payments solution has allowed it to become the leading smartphone transaction service in Sweden. It has already been adopted by McDonald’s restaurants as well as by the grocery retailer, Axfood group, which has allowed it to become widespread throughout Sweden. Now, it will be bringing NFC technology to each of these locations, as well.

Doctors, physicians, and other professionals will now have scannable barcodes on their official documents.

Every renewed or newly issued medical license from the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision (Oklahoma Medical Board) will include QR codes.

Oklahoma health care professionals will be able to sign in at hospitals faster.

The incorporated QR codes are located on the bottom right hand corner of the medical licenses and will give doctors, physician, and other medical practitioners the ability to check-in quickly and conveniently at hospitals and clinics, as well as make it easier for them to gain entry into training events. The Oklahoma Medical Board is the first in the country to use these well-recognized and unique quick response codes for this purpose.

 QR codes will provide instant access to doctor information.

When scanned, these 2D square bar codes will allow for the immediate and direct access of the medical professional’s information as it is displayed on the Oklahoma Medical Board’s official website. Therefore, within a matter of seconds, the code will link the scanner to the important and essential data that could be highly useful.

Some of the important details pertaining to the physician that can be viewed, right away, may include: medical education, medical specialization, board status, board certification, hospital privileges, and so on. In addition, office hours, contact information, and insurance participation are among other details that may be provided.

Having rapid access to this data could be very beneficial to medical personnel, law enforcement, and patients. For instance, during an emergency situation, if a licensed medical physician were to offer his/her assistance, the police or emergency medical team on the scene would have the ability to instantly confirm the doctor’s identity by scanning the QR codes on the doctor’s medical license.

QR codes have been steadily growing in popularity with the increase of smartphone and tablet users. These mobile-friendly bar codes can be found just about everywhere and have been frequently used in the medical industry in diverse, creative and practical ways for faster and easier data access. The new bar code service in the Oklahoma medical industry was implemented by the Oklahoma Medical Board and OK gov.
