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.

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) ...

Finger Vein Biometrics Identification for Membership Management Software

An article published today in the University of Vermont’s campus newspaper The Vermont Cynic reported that the campus recreation center has adopted M2SYS finger vein technology for student member identification. Tim Lewis, associate director for campus recreation made the decision to use finger vein biometrics for member identification after brainstorming ideas on how to eliminate students carrying ID cards. Happy to see our finger vein biometric identification system used at the University of Vermont through a partnership we have with Vermont Systems, a recreation and parks software provider based in Essex Junction, VT. Modern-day membership management software is designed to help create efficiencies that antiquated methods simply can’t provide. In an effort to eliminate ID cards, prevent identity fraud, and create a more convenient user experience, many membership management facilities are evaluating vascular biometrics (finger vein) for identification because of the distinct ...

Misinformation about Biometric Technology Continues to Fuel Functionality Misconceptions

Today, we came across the following blog post from Guy Huntington at Infosec Island: “What Happened to My Biometric?” In the post, the author discusses the inherent dangers of opting into a biometric identification system by providing your fingerprint and the possible negative privacy and identity theft consequences if a user does not make sure that their biometric template is deleted from the system if they leave or opt-out. Our take: While we are always pleased to see biometric technology pop up in the news or through blog postings, we often cringe when we see these types of articles that essentially do not accurately depict biometric technology, and leave readers with ill-conceived perceptions about how the technology actually works. Anyone who works in the biometric industry can attest to the fact that there is never an image of a user’s fingerprint stored. The truth of the matter is that biometric enrollment templates stored on a server are not actually an image of t...
