Emerging Trends in Medical Science Using Biometric

Biometrics in health care and medicine is one of the revolutionary technological advancement that has been made to improve and cater the requirements of patients as well as doctors. Technologies have continued to progress, affecting the performance of globally efficient medical healthcare systems. Meanwhile, privacy and security of patient data for most users of the health information management system have recorded major concerns. This is not denying the fact that privacy is necessary in-patient care. The record of the patient which may be inadequately retained or misconstrued may lead to wrong prescriptions or death. In this paper, we present an overview and application of biometric in medical science is discussed in detail. The use of biometrics for identification has played a major role in protecting privacy and medical healthcare systems. This paper also justifies the classical methods, influential methods, and taxonomy predicated on the biometric attributes.
