Finger-Based Identification for Critical Data Security

The system is based on True User Identification technology developed by Bio-key International, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, USA).

The system will fill new U.S. requirements that healthcare providers create a privacy-conscious environment in which only medically relevant, nonpublic patient information is disclosed to authorized parties. Bio-key has recently been awarded a contract to provide secure data access for a major healthcare system using the advanced finger technology. Web-Key was integrated into the hospitals' existing portal system in a matter of days, according to the company.

"In addition to providing the level of security to meet federal requirements, the Bio-key solution satisfied another critical requirement: eliminating the need to issue and manage user IDs (identifications), passwords, or cumbersome authentication tokens,” explained Mike DePasquale, CEO of Bio-key. "This is one of those ideal situations where security has been significantly increased, the user experience is improved, and product support costs are reduced.”
