Monday, May 10, 2010

Zvetco Biometrics, a developer of biometric authentication solutions, has announced they have been chosen by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for a project that will enable the agency to biometrically authenticate users issuing electronic death certificates.

The initial stage of the program includes the providing of software that ties into Zvetco’s readers to the many mortuaries, hospital, extended care facilities and government agencies involved in the issuance of death certificates that will allow a user to be enrolled in the system as well as record, store and print death certificates. [end]
