How can biometrics benefit the healthcare industry?

There’s a lot of focus on the future of healthcare at the moment – and biometric technology has been tipped as the way forward for enhancing the health and safety of both medical personnel and patients.

One of the most important ways biometrics can benefit the healthcare industry is by allowing seamless, fast and safe access to busy health personnel. By using a biometric modality such as facial recognition, for example, a clinician can quickly pass through a secure door without stopping to get out a keycard. This is also highly advantageous for hygiene reasons. Facial recognition is touchfree and extremely accurate, even when healthcare workers are wearing facial masks.
