Biometrics in Blood Banks (B cube):

The major concern of Blood Bank is to maintain the Quality of Blood as well as to identify the Professional Donors. Regulations required that donors be positively identified each time they donated blood, but the problem is donors don't always have their government-issued identification card, such as a driving license. IDs weren't the only problem either. Data entry errors were leading to duplicate records and it came down to names and date of birth weren't good enough for record keeping.

The system to be proposed should enable the blood banks to search for and positively identify blood donors more efficiently, while detecting and preventing duplicate donor records, protecting donor privacy and eliminating errors associated with manual registration, and the technology should ensure a safer blood supply.

The pinpointed technology, biometrics will allow the banks to operate even more safely, securely and efficiently. It’s easy and always with a donor, unlike an ID card. This will also protect and preserve our environment through the reduced use of paper products. 

Biometric technology is now becoming the preferred authentication and identification option for patient, donor and consumer access, virtually eliminating clerical errors, reduced check-in times and lowered overall operating costs.

We can say with confidence that the blood centers, transfusion facilities and hospitals equipped with biometric technology, will continue to grow, as the security and convenience provided by biometrics in eliminating cards and passwords enhances the identification experience for donors and staff.
