Focus on the POC developed for the Jura Hospital and miniaturization with the CSEM
POC — PILOT OF CONCEPT
In June 2019, the Jura hospital tested the first BioLocker pilot, developed by Global ID! Five scanners were tested by the employees and the local TV CANAL ALPHA made a complete report.
As part of the E-Health project, the Swiss Confederation requires hospitals and other institutions to implement a strong two-factor authentication solution to access patient data. For the implementation of this solution, the French-speaking hospitals are associated to seek common solutions.
The head of the IT department at the Jura Hospital, Gianni IMBRIANI, has tested several solutions and that of Global ID seems to meet his very strict specifications:
- Strong security of patient data
=> Only the patient decides what he or she shares with the medical profession
- Securing access to workstations
=> Only authorized persons may have access to hospital equipment,
=> Only authorized persons may have access to the data with the patient’s consent,
=> It must be possible to recognize the identity of members of the medical or nursing profession even when they wear surgical gloves.

The EPFL’s Security and Cryptography Laboratory has developed this pilot named #BioLocker based on Global ID’s 3D Finger Vein Biometric Identification technology.

Miniaturization
Global ID is constantly developing the technology, the size of the scanner will be reduced by half by the beginning of 2020 to meet the needs of the Jura hospital. Global ID relies on the excellence of the CSEM in Neuchâtel to develop the miniaturization of its scanner.
Global ID’s 3D vein scanner had already passed three stages of miniaturization and improvement in terms of design, comfort and engineering before this fourth and final decisive stage, which takes place just before industrialization.
This complex miniaturization step requires the dual expertise of specialists in microtechnology and artificial intelligence to successfully integrate all the tools related to biometric identification from veins into a small space, while protecting the privacy of the identified persons.
EPFL’s Laboratory for Security and Cryptography (LASEC) is involved from the design stage of this new generation of scanner in order to guarantee data protection throughout the chain.
The next version of the scanner will be the size of a smartphone by December 2020.
“True to its mission of technology transfer, CSEM is delighted to make its skills in miniaturization and embedded vision systems available to meet this challenge and we will support Global ID in the product’s industrialization phase,” emphasizes Alain-Serge Porret, Director of Integrated and Wireless Systems Activities at CSEM.
Global ID is investing more than CHF 500,000 for this new development, which is necessary for further growth.
