BeebeeSign, the graphometric digital signature from BeebeeBoard

BeebeeSign offers graphometric and OTP signing for digital consents with full legal validity under eIDAS. The two options let doctors do away with paper and handwritten signatures in seconds.

What BeebeeSign Is: Graphometric Signature Built Into Medical Practice Management Software

BeebeeSign is the signature module built into BeebeeDoc, the cloud hospital medical practice management software. It allows the digital signing of consents and medical documents straight from a tablet or smartphone. The solution complies with eIDAS and GDPR.

The doctor signs the consent form in seconds without paper. The patient applies a digital signature with biometric authentication. The document stays archived in the cloud with full traceability.

BeebeeSign combines two methods: a graphometric signature with biometric data and an OTP signature by SMS or email. Both have full legal force as an FEA (advanced electronic signature).

How the Graphometric Signature Works

The graphometric signature captures the act of signing on a touchscreen. The mobile app (iOS and Android) collects behavioural biometric data in real time. Speed, pressure, tilt, rhythm and acceleration are analysed.

These parameters create a unique profile of the signature. It is impossible to forge, because it would require reproducing the original motor behaviour exactly. The biometric data is encrypted and stored securely.

The algorithm checks the authenticity of the signature in milliseconds. If someone tries to forge it, the system immediately detects the discrepancies. Namirial S.p.A. certification guarantees the ISO27001 security level.

Graphometric Signature: Technical Requirements and Compliance

The graphometric signature is available in the BeebeeDoc app for iOS and Android. It needs no external hardware, smartcard or USB token. The doctor's tablet or smartphone is enough.

The solution complies with eIDAS 2014/910/EU and the GDPR. Namirial S.p.A., a leading European certification authority, guarantees security. Biometric data is processed under GDPR article 9.

The graphometric signature is recognised in Italy, the EU and internationally. It has the same legal value as a paper signature. For administrative and medico-legal proceedings it is fully accepted.

Storage takes place in European data centres with geographic redundancy. End-to-end encryption protects the biometric data. Periodic security audits verify ISO27001 compliance.

OTP Signature: The Device-Free Alternative for Remote Patients

BeebeeSign also offers an OTP (One-Time Password) signature as an alternative to the graphometric one. Ideal for remote or older patients, or those with motor disabilities. It needs no app and no touch device.

The doctor sends the consent to the patient by email or SMS. The patient receives a one-time OTP code valid for 5 minutes. They enter the code to sign the document digitally.

The OTP signature complies with eIDAS as an FEA (advanced electronic signature). It has the same legal value as the graphometric signature. Perfect for patients who cannot come to the practice.

OTP codes are generated and sent by SMS or encrypted email. Each code is unique and cannot be reused. The system records the timestamp and IP of the authentication.

When to Use an OTP Signature Rather Than a Graphometric Signature

The graphometric signature is ideal for patients at the practice. It collects biometric data and creates a unique profile. Fast and intuitive on a tablet or smartphone.

The OTP signature is preferable for remote patients, telemedicine or follow-ups. It needs no touch device. Accessible from any browser, including on a smartphone or computer.

Many medical facilities use both methods. The doctor chooses while filling in the consent form. BeebeeDoc allows automatic selection based on the type of appointment.

OTP Security and Regulatory Compliance

OTP signature is protected by 256-bit encryption. One-time codes expire after 5 minutes. Failed attempts block access after 3 errors.

Compliant with the GDPR for the handling of personal data. Namirial S.p.A. certifies the legal validity of the signature. Accepted in Italy, the EU and for international proceedings.

BeebeeSign in the Medical Workflow: Getting Rid of Paper

BeebeeSign removes printing and paper signing from the clinical workflow. The doctor prepares the consent form in BeebeeDoc. The patient signs digitally without travelling.

Paper no longer enters the practice. Consents stay archived in the cloud with full traceability. Fast search and instant access for auditors and inspections.

Every signature is timestamped and linked to the patient profile. The system records who signed, when and from which device. Legal authenticity cannot be denied.

Integration with BeebeeDoc: Cloud Medical Practice Management Software

BeebeeSign is a native module of BeebeeDoc. It requires no external integrations or plugins. The doctor signs directly from the practice management app.

Signed consent forms are archived automatically in the patient record. They can be consulted at any time by the doctor or by authorised staff. A daily backup ensures continuity.

BeebeeDoc also offers biometric data capture, booking management and teleconsultations. BeebeeSign integrates perfectly with every module. A single platform for the whole of medical practice management.

Applicable Regulations: eIDAS, ISO27001 and GDPR

BeebeeSign complies with eIDAS 2014/910/EU, the European regulation on digital signatures. Graphometric and OTP signatures fall into the FEA (advanced electronic signature) category.

eIDAS guarantees legal recognition throughout the European Union. No bilateral agreements are required. The signature is valid in civil, criminal and administrative proceedings.

The ISO27001 certification attested by Namirial S.p.A. guarantees the security of the infrastructure. Encryption, backup and disaster recovery meet international standards. Annual audits verify continued compliance.

The processing of biometric data follows GDPR article 9. BeebeeDoc requires explicit consent to collect biometric data. The data subject can withdraw consent at any time.

Biometric data are not sold to third parties. They are used only for the digital signature and authentication. DPIAs (Data Protection Impact Assessments) check the legal risks.
