RightPatient: Transforming Healthcare With Biometrics

The United States is witnessing an alarming surge in medical identity theft, a crime that poses severe threats to patient safety and healthcare institutions. The primary challenge lies in safeguarding Patient Protected Health Information (PHI), a task that has become increasingly complicated with the rise in patient-driven interactions in the healthcare system. However, the advent of biometrics in healthcare is revolutionizing this landscape by providing an added layer of protection and acting as a formidable deterrent to hackers.
