Amazon Brings Biometric Tech to NYU Health Facilities
Amazon is bringing its palm-scanning payment system to a healthcare facility, allowing patients to check in for appointments securely and quickly. The contactless service, called Amazon One, aims to speed up sign-ins, alleviate administrative strain on staff, and reduce errors and wait times. This technology has the potential to significantly impact patient experiences at NYU Langone Health facilities.
- As biometric technologies become more prevalent in healthcare, it raises questions about data security and privacy: Can a system like Amazon One truly ensure that sensitive patient information remains protected?
- How will the widespread adoption of biometric payment systems like Amazon One influence the future of healthcare interactions, potentially changing the way patients engage with medical services?
