A high level of consolidation efforts such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and collaborations hold immense growth avenues for players in the global healthcare biometrics market, states Transparency Market Research. The global healthcare biometrics market is characterized by the presence of a handful of global players that dominate this market, along with several local players that operate at the domestic level. Some of the key players in the global healthcare biometrics market are 3M Cogent Inc., BIO-key International Inc., Fujitsu Limited, and Superma Inc. Use of Biometrics Overcomes Shortcomings of Conventional Data Security Practices The major driver of the global healthcare biometrics market is the increasing focus of healthcare facilities for the adoption of a foolproof patient identification system. Biometric systems function with utmost accuracy and can be linked to the electronic health records (EHR) of individual patients. As the technology involves the physical presence of an individual at the time of service, the loopholes of paper-based identification are eliminated completely. A TMR analyst further states, “The investments involved in the installation and maintenance of healthcare biometrics is insignificant as compared to the costs incurred due to a security breach and medical theft.

Not only this, the use of biometrics has proven to be an effective alternative to password protection. This is because biometrics overcome the shortcomings of password authentication by offering both enhanced security and convenience for the user. For these reasons, biometrics have received positive acceptance from several industry verticals for identity protection. For instance, the use of fingerprint scanning in healthcare enables physicians and medical practitioners to obtain quick access to patients’ EHR, thereby assisting in delivering speedy medical care.
