STAMFORD, Conn., June 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CertaScan Technologies (http://www.certascantek.com), an innovative newborn biometric identification system, has just installed its system in its 100th hospital – growing over 60% in the past year. These industry-leading hospitals have used CertaScan to scan the feet of over 250,000 newborns, providing them with added safety and security.
The proprietary system allows hospitals to digitally capture high resolution newborn footprints which can be used for precise identification in situations that include abductions, lost or abandoned babies or natural disasters. The momentum to install CertaScan is growing quickly as infant security and identification remains a top priority for moms, hospitals and communities.
In addition to scanning the feet of babies, the system also takes security photos, a critical component of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's (NCMEC's) Guidelines. Furthermore, the system captures mom's index fingerprints thereby linking a biometric of mom to that of her baby. No other system available to hospitals today provides these benefits.
The system is entirely safe for use on babies and provides outstanding footprint quality. Nurses prefer the system because its easy to use, seamless to adopt and replaces time-consuming and often-messy inks or special paper processes that offer no identification benefits and often fade over time.
Mom is engaged in the process when she receives a newborn footprint certificate in the hospital and when she returns home, she can download a copy of her baby's footprint and enhance it with different colors, fonts and borders. These benefits are provided free to moms – compliments of the hospital.
The 100 hospitals that have installed CertaScan have received a strong favorable response from their communities for leading the way in infant security innovation.
All of the CertaScan benefits are provided to hospitals on a fee per birth basis with no upfront costs.
