BIO-key International Enhances Secure Biometric Authentication with HealthIDx Partnership

BIO-key International, Inc. (OTCQB: BKYI) has improved its offering of secure biometric authentication by adding robust identity proofing services and optional hosted authentication services in partnership with HealthIDx, a Credential Services Provider (CSP).
According to the press release:

This enhancement significantly expands the markets for BIO-key’s authentication products, and will allow many more health systems to avail themselves of BIO-key’s superior user experience for ePrescribing authentication. While the immediate beneficiaries are in healthcare, non-healthcare market customers can also leverage BIO-key’s identity proofing service to ensure positive identity of enrolled individuals into their BIO-key applications.
“We’re excited to be partnering with BIO-key in this important effort to increase the security, ease of use, and cost effectiveness of ePrescribing solutions,” said Scott Lowry, CEO of HealthIDx.
BIO-key has a strong track record providing “biometric plus” two-factor authentication solutions with its ID Director family of products, providing seamless integration into ePrescribing platforms from EPIC and Allscripts, with more integrations in development. Healthcare customers choose BIO-key because of the day-to-day operational impact of its outstanding National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) accuracy tests, scalable 1-to-many search, and device interoperability. NIST’s reports (https://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/pftii_results.cfm) demonstrate that BIO-key’s accuracy results are orders of magnitude better than competitive offerings being sold at higher prices. BIO-key’s superior accuracy directly impacts prescribers every day with an improved biometric experience, and allows the highest standards of security to be met without compromise.
