Biometrics are slowly replacing passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), plastic ID cards, and other forms of what are considered antiquated and unsecure methods of authentication. As we witness the growth explosion of biometrics for individual identification, here are some surprising uses of the technology that are sure to touch our lives at some point (if they haven\u2019t already!):<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workforce Management &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Biometrics and timesheets: Many businesses are finding that biometrically monitored time clocks are a great way to keep employee costs down. Rather than spending time at the end of each week monitoring employees\u2019 timecards, or worrying about whether time cards are inflated, biometric time cards are tamper proof. Employees cannot edit their own hours. This is especially useful in businesses like group homes or nursing homes where aides, nurses, and other health professionals are constantly coming in and out. These are usually done through fingerprints, but can also be accomplished with palm and finger vein technology which transfers the data back to a computer synced to payroll software.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Wearables &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Movement and exercise technology: We\u2019ve all seen the Nike FuelBands which monitor the wearer\u2019s basic movements each day, but companies are developing methods to monitor specific exercises and calorie loss. Depending upon the movement of your body, newer bracelets can tell which exercises you\u2019re doing and whether or not they are having the desired caloric outcome. In addition, bracelets are now able to monitor sleep\u2014including the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, REM cycles, and how many times the user wakes up each night.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Voice Recognition &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Different uses for voice recognition: Voice recognition can be used for identification, similar to other forms of biometrics. Everyone has a unique voice and this type of system focuses on unique vocal tones and cadences that each person has. This technology is less invasive and less expensive than other scanners, making it more popular among businesses. People having their voice scanned are not prone to the same trepidation regarding palm, fingerprint, and iris scans. Beyond security uses, voice recognition can be used by medical professionals for clinical documentation. By recognizing the clinician\u2019s voice, the software can transcribe their voice into an officially formatted document, saving time on transcription, which means faster turnaround times. Also, you may not have realized it, but every time you speak to Apple\u2019s Siri, it recognizes your voice more and more, enabling it to transcribe your commands more accurately.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Healthcare &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Patient identification: Although healthcare is generally at the forefront of technological advances, the same cannot be said of the clerical side of healthcare. Finally, a number of blood banks are using fingerprint biometrics as a way to identify blood donors. This way there are fewer errors between donor health concerns, duplicate donors, and lost donor ID cards. Now, even if a donor doesn\u2019t have their certified donor ID with them they can still participate in blood donation. Also, hospitals are beginning to offer patient check-in through iris recognition and palm scans. This way there is less fraud concerning whether or not a patient was actually at the hospital when it comes time to pay for insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Edward is the manager of both <a title=\"Link to Prime Medical Web site\" href=\"https:\/\/www.primemedicalalert.com\/\"><strong>Prime Medical Alert<\/strong><\/a> and <a title=\"Link to Senior Planning Web site\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seniorplanning.org\/\"><strong>Senior Planning<\/strong><\/a> in Phoenix, Arizona.
