New York University Langone Medical Center has been one of the first to start scanning palms to access the patient's medical health records. This new strategy prevents identity theft and reduces the amount of paperwork that needs to be involved. The device uses infrared light to scan palms and will use patient's veins on the palm for proper identification.
That's right folks, no more digging through your purse or wallet for the insurance card. With your next visit to the hospital, all you will need to do is scan your palm. Hope with this new technology is that there can be more patient interaction and less paperwork. Don't worry, this isn't a mandatory so those of you that feel uncomfortable, can opt of the process.
