Fujitsu kiosk uses palm prints to register clinic patients
February 16, 2009
The (Hillsboro, Ill.) Journal-News: A new kiosk application developed by Fujitsu Computer Products of America, an association member, identifies and registers patients via a biometric palm print scanner. The kiosk is currently being tested at the Hillsboro Medical Center in Illinois. Patients use a touchscreen interface to set up their own appointments without the aid of a receptionist. It can also custom-tailor specific messages to the individual patient.
"For instance, if a female patient is due for a mammogram, a reminder with a date will appear on the lower half of the screen," said Jim Hewitt, chief information officer with the clinic.
