- In February 2024, Imprivata, a digital identity company, launched the Imprivata Biometric Patient Identity solution, a HIPAA-compliant facial recognition technology designed to address patient misidentification in healthcare settings. Integrated with Epic Systems, this solution enables healthcare providers to accurately identify patients by capturing facial images during enrollment and utilizing standard webcams during check-in, accommodating attributes such as medical masks and glasses. By replacing manual identification methods, it aims to reduce duplicate records, minimize medical errors, and enhance patient privacy and satisfaction. This development is expected to improve clinical efficiency and patient experiences, contributing to the broader adoption of biometric solutions in the healthcare industry
- In November 2022, NEC Corporation launched its multimodal biometric authentication solution under the "Bio-IDiom" brand, integrating world-leading face and iris recognition technologies, each recognized as the world's No. 1 by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This solution offers high-speed, high-precision touchless authentication with a false acceptance rate of one in 10 billion, even under conditions where individuals wear masks, goggles, and gloves. It is designed for a wide range of applications, including strict access control in critical facilities and high-security areas, as well as payments that require the use of passwords and other authentication factors. The solution's implementation is smooth, requiring no complicated design, and supports REST API for easy integration with various systems, reducing both cost and time required for deployment
