Biometrics to Strengthen Health Sector Data Security
It’s almost as if it’s some science fiction
coming to life. People impersonating other people and accessing their most
precious medical records. It sounds like it’s a small problem but in reality,
it is scary at the very least.
This was one of the bigger concerns in the
past when we just kept our health records inside filing cabinets. In reality,
people who had access to the cabinet can easily just pull up your records and
do whatever they want with it. For this reason, medical records retrieval
Systems wsre created. Simply put, it was a paperless system that eliminated the
common fears of patients.
This, however, came into fruition without
any hitches. It created new problems and new ways of exploiting the system. For
one, duplicates and overlays became rather imminent. Lastly, the new method of
keeping the records also meant new ways for bad elements to exploit the system.
According to a blog post by Fortune.com. The
health industry is the number one victim in hacking on all sectors. Almost
43% of the total data breaches during last year were all from the health
sector. Is it because of poor security? Not necessarily. But one can say that
people have been spending a lot of time making sure they access the said data
banks.
In order to combat this threat, medical
companies resorted to using biometrics as a security feature. They use data
from a patient’s fingerprints, veins, iris, and facial features. This feature
not only aims to reduce overlays and duplicates, it also aims to remove the
incentive of hacking health information because hackers will still have a hard
time decoding the information itself.

Think about it, in order to open your
medical records or add information on your account, you will be required to
confirm that it is actually you by facial or iris verification. If by any
chance hackers do still get your records, they still need to have your iris or
face to access them.
Now, you can rest assured, knowing your
medical records won’t be easily stolen, destroyed, or even tampered with. To
