“Smart Infrastructure Integration”
- Hospitals and healthcare systems across Asia-Pacific are increasingly adopting cloud-based biometric platforms integrated with national health IT infrastructure to improve patient identification, reduce fraud, and streamline access to medical records.
- Biometric wearables and mobile health apps integrated with national electronic health records (EHRs) are enhancing patient monitoring and outpatient services.
- In 2023, Singapore’s Ministry of Health launched a pilot program using facial recognition linked with MyHealth Record to authenticate patients at public hospitals.
- Cloud-based biometric solutions are enabling secure access to patient data in rural and urban areas alike. In 2024, NEC partnered with Indian health networks to deploy facial and fingerprint authentication across clinics under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.
