Safeguard Patient Data and Access Management

Healthcare professionals deal with all types of personal information; from sensitive health data, financial and insurance information, and other personally identifiable information like addresses and social security numbers. That’s one reason healthcare data is held under the strict regulatory compliance standards of the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other frameworks. Therefore, it is critical to safeguard that data and ensure the person with whom healthcare professionals are discussing or sharing that data is indeed the correct person. Aware’s biometric solutions apply to a variety of healthcare environments, including patient identification and identity and access management (IAM).

Automated Biometric Identification

AwareABIS™ supports all these healthcare use cases. AwareABIS is an Automated Biometric Identification System that provides large-scale biometric identification and deduplication. It supports fingerprint, facial, and iris recognition. Its highly modular architecture helps healthcare IT staff configured and optimized the system to suit a variety of healthcare applications.

Biometric Solutions for Healthcare

Patient Identification

Healthcare providers can avoid the danger of patient misidentification using a biometrics-as-a-service platform like AwareID™. Due to illness or the effects of medication, patients are not always able to accurately identify themselves with absolute confidence. Duplicate patient records can also exacerbate the risks of inaccurate identification. By collecting biometric data from patients and searching through those biometric records upon subsequent visits, healthcare providers can accurately identify patients without having to rely on the patients themselves.

Mobile Authentication

Access to healthcare records is always strictly controlled. Biometrics is a more convenient and secure means to ensure legitimate access to those records for both patients and caregivers. Aware’s Knomi biometric authentication framework records and identifies facial and voice recognition data for password-free multifactor authentication on smartphones, replacing passwords for mobile app login or out-of-band authentication for browser access.

Identity Deduplication

Duplicate patient records can lead to healthcare treatment and medication errors. Biometric solutions can detect and merge patient records, so their complete and accurate records are always available to caregivers. When patients submit biometric identification when onboarding into the system, those biometric records can help avoid record duplication. Those records can also help healthcare administrators analyze identity data to detect any duplicates.
