Summary
NYU Langone Health is enhancing its patient check-in process by implementing Amazon One, a contactless palm-scanning technology that facilitates quick and secure identity verification. This deployment, the largest of its kind in healthcare, aims to streamline check-ins while maintaining privacy and security, with completion expected by year-end. The system boasts a 99.9999% accuracy rate, recognizes palms in under a second, and integrates with NYU Langone's electronic health records. Notably, Amazon One prioritizes patient privacy by not storing health information and requiring user intent for palm recognition, making it a more secure alternative to traditional check-in methods.
