ThirdFactor | Fujitsu wins Network Product Guide award

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

Fujitsu Computer Products of America, a developer of various technologies including biometrics, has won the Network Products Guide Reader Trust Award in the health care category for its PalmSecure palm vein identification device.

PalmSecure is a device designed to scan vein patterns in a user’s palm via a near-infrared camera as a means of recognition or authentication. How it is ideal in the health care industry is that the device is contact-less and therefore can be used on a number of patients while still maintaining industry hygienic standards. Additionally, the product touts very low false acceptance rates and can be used either as a way to identify individuals or for IT access control.
