Biometric Security Protocols

Meaning

Biometric Security Protocols are formalized, technical procedures used to protect sensitive health data, particularly within the hormonal health and wellness space, by employing unique physiological characteristics for verification. These protocols utilize biological measurements such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans to confirm a patient’s identity and authorize access to their confidential clinical records. Their purpose is to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility of highly personal information, complying with stringent regulatory standards like HIPAA. This layer of security is critical when managing complex, longitudinal health data, including genetic and endocrine profiles.
