Next New

      A new type of media that doesn't exist today is fingerprint or facial recognition technology at hospitals. A software can be created where a patient's fingerprint can allow the hospital to find a patients medical records easily. This way when patients visit hospitals, they don't have to constantly state their birth date and name so that the receptionist can pull up their information on the computer easily. It will save time and information about the patients medical records would appear on the computer instantly. Additionally, this fingerprint software can be utilized at pharmacies also where customers fingerprint could be scanned and all of their prescriptions would show up on the spot. This would make preparing and scanning prescriptions faster for the pharmacist. This finger print software and technology will prove to beneficial because it is gives instant access to data in a matter of seconds which will allow hospitals and pharmacies to provide excellent service.

    I think this would be an amazing idea. I think it would be more efficient and also environmentally friendly but I see a couple of things that could possibly go wrong. Firstly, lets say we need information on the patient and she is not currently infront of us then what? She would need to be there in person for us to access her medical information. Also, there is also a possibility of the database getting hacked and if someone erases them then would we lose all history of the patients medical history. Another thing is power outages but I'm sure 99% of all hospitals obviously have generators. Additionally, If someone gets badly burned their fingerprints could be different or even nonexistent. Lastly, I think it would be very expensive to implement that kind of technology which is why it hasn't been implemented already. Other than that I think this would be an excellent thing to have at hospitals. Great idea!
