Benefits of Biometric Visitor Management Systems for Hospitals

An effective visitor management system is highly critical for every public place especially hospitals. Generally, hundreds of employees, doctors, patients, visitors, vendors, and contractors are passing through a hospital for respective reasons. Large hospitals host even more people every day.

Only hospitals have to take care of vulnerable people including seriously ill, injured, newborns, and elderly people on a daily basis. Needless to say, they have to also ensure secure access to millions of dollars’ worth of equipment for medical purposes.

Considering all those points, hospitals should adopt effective visitor management system that serves the purposes perfectly. It has to be fast, affordable and easy to use.

There are many traditional visitor management systems available in the market, but in terms of cost, time and effectiveness those lag behind from the requirements.

Currently, biometrics-based security systems are thriving in every sector including government projects, financial institutes, educational institutes, healthcare etc. A biometric-enabled visitor management system would be a perfect solution for the hospitals right now. Learn more…

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.
