In the healthcare sector, biometrics largely pertains to patient identification and user access control. Biometrics are also being utilized to reduce fraud and secure patient data, particularly for those recruited for clinical studies. In the United States, healthcare insurers encounter a high level of fraud and fabrication of facts when claiming paid benefits. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), fraudulent billings to public and private health care programs account for 3% to 10% of overall health spending. According to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, an anti-fraud monitoring group, Medicare fraud costs the United States over $80 billion every year. Healthcare biometrics can be an ideal solution for data security and fraudulent claims, saving the government and healthcare insurers billions of dollars. Securing patient identity is critical for controlling logical access, limiting physical access to hospital wards, and authenticating medical professionals.
Unlike the password authentication method, which required users to memorize passwords, biometrics has unquestionably improved the accessibility and operations of healthcare companies. Biometrics are being used in hospitals, clinics, and to monitor patients. Various technological breakthroughs have resulted in the commercialization of a variety of biometric solutions for healthcare, including user identification utilizing the face, iris, hand, voice, fingerprint, vein, and signature. This has considerably boosted the growth of the healthcare biometrics industry. The healthcare insurance industry in North America is highly fragmented, with various systemic flaws that are exploited by fraudsters. As a result, the potential for biometrics is quite strong in this location. Furthermore, the rising need for healthcare IT integration in the Asia Pacific and Latin American areas is expected to boost biometrics' rapid adoption in the healthcare industry.
The worldwide healthcare biometrics market is segmented in this study based on technology, application, end-user, and region. Face recognition, iris recognition, hand recognition, voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, vein recognition, and signature recognition are the technological segments of the market.
