Some Fresno, Calif., healthcare facilities are using ‘eyeprints’ for patient ID, according to an article on the Fresno Bee website.
Each time a patient registers for an appointment at a Community Regional Medical Center, a quick photo will be taken to match with the one on file.
The hospital system began a pilot program using the software technology three months ago. By June, the technology could be standard at most registration sites.
But not everyone sees biometrics as a benefit for patients. Consumer advocates and healthcare law experts are concerned about patient privacy and about the information being vulnerable to cyberthreats.
