Benefits of using Iris Scanning Software in Hospitals


The data breach, medical identity theft, and duplicate medical records are all nightmares for any hospital in the US, due to their enormous impact on healthcare data safety and integrity and organizational reputation. To take protection against these accidents, iris scanning software can be useful. To help you understand more on how an Iris scanning software can help, here we have put together all the benefits of it:

Iris Scanning Reduce Identity Theft

Iris is one of the unique features of a human. Everyone in this world has a unique iris pattern. This sort of functionality can be used by hospitals to prevent identity theft. Patient ID card/Password can get lost/stolen, but their iris will always be there with them. If the patient is identified through their iris, it will be impossible from an intruder to steal important identity information.

Eliminate Duplicate Medical Records

A duplicate medical record is another threat to the healthcare industry. It can cause serious issues like death and reduce data integrity. According to John Hopkins Hospital, 92% of duplicate records are created during impatient registration. Iris scanning takes only a few minutes and produces a faster result that eliminates the chances of impatient registration and lowers the risk of duplicate medical records.

Reduce Data Breaches

Iris scan provides tight data security. Only an authorized person can access the data. It makes data breaches impossible

Prevent Fraud

Iris cannot be manipulated or duplicated. If their iris secures the patient information, there will be no chance of fraudulent activity. The patient will be easily identified through their iris and can blacklist those who have done fraudulent activity in the past.

Increase ROI

Think about all those benefits described above. What you can sense is the rise in service efficiency. Iris scanning will make your hospital operation error-free, smooth and effective, which inevitably increases service quality which will eventually bring in more patients and higher ROI.

 Iris scanning safeguards hospitals from data breaches, medical identity theft, and duplicate medical records. Which allows them to protects their valuable investment and provide quality of service to their patients.

Biometric Authentication to Stop Money Laundering in Pakistan

Recently The State Bank of Pakistan has mandated all of its banks to start verifying all of their account holders using biometric technology. The goal of this exercise is to stop money laundering in Pakistan. In the past; opening a bank account only requires the account holder’s details in printed/written form along with their id cards. However, after this current announcement, to open a bank account in Pakistan, one has to provide biometric data using an e-registration system. This procedure is also applicable for those who have registered before without biometric verification process. Many private banks throughout the globe have already deployed biometric identification solution to reduce fraud at their banks. Biometric technology help banks to know their customers better and revolutionize their KYC process. After implementing the biometric solution from M2SYS for customer identification in the microcredit loan process, this helped Grupo Monge (Costa Rican Capital Corpor...

Iris Recognition vs. Retina Scanning – What are the Differences?

In biometrics, iris and retinal scanning are known as “ocular-based” identification technologies, meaning they rely on unique physiological characteristics of the eye to identify an individual. Even though they both share part of the eye for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work. Let’s take a closer look at both and then explain the similarities and differences in detail: Retinal Scanning:  The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that are located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person’s retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern. Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. (Source: Wikipedia) ...

False Rejection Rate – What Does It Mean And Why Should I Care?

False reject rate   is a statistic used to measure biometric performance when operating in the verification task and it usually calculated as the percentage of times the system produces a false reject.  A false reject occurs when an individual is not matched to their own existing biometric template.  For example: John claims to be John, but the system incorrectly denies the verification.  This can be particularly frustrating for an end user who knows that they are enrolled in the system and should be recognized and verified, but for some reason the system is incorrectly rejecting their scan.  This can cause unnecessary logjams, affect service, frustrate staff and negatively impact productivity.
