“Smart Infrastructure Integration”
- Hospitals and healthcare systems across Middle East and Africa 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 April 2025, Vove ID secured funding from The Baobab Network to expand its biometric KYC and AML services across Africa and the Middle East. Their platform supports over 2,000 ID types and includes selfie biometrics and age verification.
- 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.
