News and insight into biometric identification and authentication

DigitalPersona solution integrated with radiology system

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

DigitalPersona has announced it has been selected by Washington Radiology Associates (WRA) to integrate DigitalPersona’s biometric hardware and software with WRA’s Radiology Information System (RIS).

The resulting solution, which utilizes the DigitalPersona Pro authentication software and U.are.U Fingerprints Readers, allows users of the system to replace usernames and passwords with a swipe of a finger to login to the system while also providing administrators with the ability to track user logins.


As the RIS previously required a radiologist to enter his username and password each time he performed a diagnostic imaging exam, a number that surpasses 30,000 each month for WRA’s outpatient offices, a secure solution that allowed streamlining of the process was necessary. [end] 

DigitalPersona announced the release of a new version of its Pro Enterprise software solution, version 5.2.

Among the aspects of the new version DigitalPersona is touting are the extensive number of factors a company utilizing the solution can use to authenticate for access to sensitive information or secured computer stations. These factors include what a user knows, such as PINs or passwords, things you have, such as smart cards, contactless identity cards or Bluetooth devices, and things you are, such as fingerprints.
