Biometric Authentication Systems for Enhanced Security in Healthcare Systems

Project Abstract

ABSTRACTThe objective of this project is to improve the security of healthcare systems by means of biometric authentication. The digitization of healthcare records is growing, and cyber threats are also increasing, which is why the need for strong security measures is increasing. Through biometric authentication that is based on individual physiological or behavioral traits, such as fingerprints, voice recognition, and facial recognition which are utilized for identity validation, healthcare organizations achieve secured systems, precise access control, and reduced financial fraud threats. The study explores the efficiency of biometric authentication as a security measure of sensitive health data, its use by authorized personnel, and privacy concerns related to its implementation. A lot of research has been conducted to show the efficiency of biometric authentication in healthcare security, its usability, its cost-effectiveness, and the issue of privacy that many people have regarding it. The results indicate that biometric authentication provides a feasible and efficient approach to developing security and privacy in healthcare systems. The project will add to the knowledge about ways of reinforcing security protocols and ensuring that patient data and financial integrity are protected in healthcare settings.
