According to the latest data, there are over 33.8 thousand clinics in South Korea. To streamline patients’ treatment procedures, more medical institutions have begun to introduce face recognition technology. Therefore, the desktop smart terminal supporting face recognition is poised to transform the way patients check in at healthcare facilities.
What are the challenges of the current hospital check-in process?
- Long wait time
Hospital check-ins can often be time-consuming, with patients needing to fill out forms, provide identification documents, and wait in line. The complex registration and check-in process can result in long wait time and long wait queues.
- Cumbersome medical procedures
Most current registration and identity verification processes contain filling out forms, presenting identity cards, manually entering personal information, etc., which can be not friendly to some patients, especially the elderly and those with limited mobility or cognitive impairments.
- High labor cost
Since the process is complex, more labors need to be deployed to manually verify patient identities or assist patients in check-in. Though with high labor costs, the check-in efficiency is not high enough. Especially in South Korea with an aging population, the labor cost is higher and merchants are seeking the method of replacing human labor with machines.
Hospital face recognition check-in solution
Aiming to provide a fast, efficient, and secure way for patients to check in at hospitals, face recognition technology is applied in healthcare institutions to improve identity verification efficiency, avoid identity theft and streamline admission processes.
How desktop smart terminal supporting face recognition streamlines patient authentication?
- Fast face registration
Upon arrival at the hospital, new patients can register themselves by providing their personal details and scanning their face using designated desktop smart terminals. This process creates a unique face ID associated with the patient’s personal information and medical records.
- Accurate face-recognition check-in
Patients who have previously registered can proceed with the check-in process. They simply approach a desktop smart terminal, where their face is scanned and compared to the registered face ID. If a match is found, the patient is automatically checked-in, and their relevant information is retrieved from the hospital’s database.
- More targeted medical services
With face recognition, hospitals can quickly retrieve patient details, medical history, ongoing treatments, and allergies, enabling healthcare providers to offer personalized and targeted medical services. This information helps ensure that patients receive appropriate treatments and medication tailored to their specific needs.
