Abstract: A verified secure biometric collection system and method for collecting and recording data from a user associated with a secure transaction, includes a storage device, user input interface, camera, biometric scanner, camera encoder to combine/hash the user image into combined data sets that are stored in the storage device, a biometric encoder to process the biometric scan into biometric template data sets and store them in the storage device. The system includes at least one of a human witness and non-human digital witness, the non-human digital witness having access to sensor inputs and software, to verify that the user is a person, and a privacy encoder to combine and encrypt the data sets into encrypted data sets memorializing the secure transaction. The system produces a secure transaction copy including encrypted data sets, and purges of all the user data collected once the copy of the secure transaction is produced.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for acquiring and analyzing biological samples are provided. The apparatus may be in the form of a free-standing apparatus, and include: means for receipt of identifying data of the individual; means for receiving the biological sample for the individual; means for providing a unique identifier for the biological sample and association with the individual; and means for conducting an analysis of the biological sample and generating a report of analysis results; wherein all of the foregoing means are under control of a microprocessor located in the apparatus. The apparatus and method allow fast processing of samples.

Abstract: Disclosed is a secure biometric collection (SBC) system for collecting and recording data from a user associated with a secure transaction. The SBC system comprises a storage device, input device, camera, fingerprint scanner, camera encoder, fingerprint encoder, and privacy encoder. The input device is configured to receive information from the user related to the secure transaction, the camera is configured to capture an image of the user and store it in the storage device, and the fingerprint scanner is configured to scan a fingerprint of the user and store it in the storage device. The camera encoder is configured to combine and hash the image of the user into combined data sets that are stored in the storage device and the fingerprint encoder is configured to process the fingerprint scan of the user into fingerprint template data sets and store the fingerprint template data sets in the storage device.

Abstract: A medical protection safety lockout system for procedures and devices which can be integrated internally or retrofitted externally to any electronic medical equipment providing treatment or diagnostic medical care to a patient. Methods include both Patient acceptance process, verifying patient acknowledgement and medical procedure consent, and Clinician acceptance process, acknowledging patient identity and appropriate clinical procedure sign-offs. The apparatus and methods deliver reliable and trustworthy patient safeguards to electronic medical equipment.
