How it works
PatientSecure is highly accurate and works by scanning the vein pattern of your palm. Vein pattern in a palm is unique to each person. The scan uses harmless near-infrared light, which is the same as the light of a TV remote control.
The advanced algorithm processes your vein pattern to create an encrypted and protected digital file that is linked to your unique medical record.
