Palm Indentify is an easy to use biometric solution to accurately ID healthcare patients. The patients' palm is digitally scanned which creates a unique digital signature that is attached to the digital medical record. Upon each visit the patient's hand is scanned linking that person to the correct chart.
Is 100 times more accurate than the average fingerprint.
What is Palm Identify?
Palm Indentify is an easy to use biometric solution to accurately ID
healthcare patients. The patient's palm is digitally scanned which
creates a unique digital signature that is attached to the digital
medical record. Upon each return visit, the patient's hand is
scanned linking their identity to the correct chart.
How does it work?
Once thought to be science fiction, now today’s technology!
The pattern of blood veins is unique to every person including identical twins. This one of a kind
biometric signature is captured by taking a scan of a patient's palm which only takes a few seconds.
During the scan an invisible infrared light is directed on the patient’s palm. This light is very similar to
the light used in a TV remote control. Some of the light is then absorbed by the veins while other
light is reflected. When red blood cells release oxygen the light does not reflect back to the scanner.
This results in a dark line pattern of the patient's veins. These vein patterns are now converted by
an algorithm into digital points that are unique to that patient. These digital points can now be
compared to existing data in a database to match the patient to their record.
