Biometrics in the healthcare context primarily refers to patient identification and the provision of access control to users. Some commonly used biometric identifiers are fingerprints, palm veins and prints, face, iris, DNA, retina, etc. These unique traits are recorded and detected by electronic devices to recognize, identify, and authenticate individuals for secure entry and access to systems and data. The two primary technologies include single-factor and multi-factor authentication. Healthcare biometrics offers several benefits, such as medical record and data center security, care provider authentication, remote patient monitoring, etc. As a result, healthcare biometrics is widely utilized across hospitals, clinics, research and clinical laboratories, etc.

Healthcare Biometrics Market Trends:

The elevating incidences of security breaches, resulting in the inflating need for security solutions that ensure patient identity integrity, efficient and safe data recording, minimization of inventory theft, etc., are primarily driving the global healthcare biometrics market. In addition to this, the growing adoption of electronic health records (EHR) and computerized physician order entry across healthcare organizations is also propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the escalating utilization of biometrics owing to its efficiency in overcoming the common drawbacks of password authentication by combining user convenience and enhanced security is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the widespread popularity of biometric solutions among research and clinical labs to secure data equipment enclosures, pedestrian entries, devices, and platforms connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is creating a positive outlook for the global market. Moreover, the escalating usage of fingerprint recognition biometrics across childcare hospitals to eliminate newborn baby swaps and enable tracking of child vaccination schedules is further driving the product demand. Besides this, numerous government bodies are implementing legislation to address patient data-related security concerns, which, in turn, is catalyzing the global market. For instance, according to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) in the US, the healthcare providers who transmit Electronic Protected Health Information (EPHI) are obligated to employ appropriate levels of security to limit access to EPHI. Additionally, the introduction of multimodal biometric system, which combines several types of biometric methods, such as facial and iris recognition, is anticipated to augment the global healthcare biometrics market over the forecast period.
