In the area of healthcare, biometrics mostly applies to patient identification and giving users access control. Biometrics are also employed in the security of patient data gathered for clinical trial recruitment as well as the detection of fraud. Fraud and distortion of facts to obtain benefits are commonplace for healthcare insurance. Healthcare biometrics can save the government and healthcare insurers billions of dollars by providing the best defense against fraudulent claims and data security. Limiting physical access to hospital wards and buildings, verifying medical staff, and controlling logical access to centralized archives of digital patient data all depend on secure patient identification.

The primary drivers of the growth of the healthcare biometrics market are the increasing need for contactless identification and authentication solutions, the growing need for biometrics-based solutions for remote patient monitoring, and the expanding usage of biometrics in healthcare applications. In the medical field, biometrics will become more and more significant. Better patient care can result from the use of biometric technology to increase the accuracy of patient identification. However, before biometrics are extensively used in healthcare, privacy issues must be resolved. While conventional biometric modalities like fingerprint, face, and voice biometrics provide fierce competition, atypical biometric modalities including behavioral, EKG, finger vein, and iris/retina biometrics are showing promise. In addition, the government is putting several measures into place to guarantee hospital security.

Healthcare biometrics systems are expensive, which will probably hurt the market. Healthcare facilities make investments in biometric technologies to provide patients individualized treatment. The patients bear the same expense. In the upcoming years, this aspect can limit the market. However, challenges that will hinder market expansion include the lack of qualified specialists, customer acceptability, and the high cost of installing and maintaining biometric equipment. The market for healthcare biometrics will also be challenged by security issues with the data kept in biometric systems. However, issues related to the application of biometric technology will serve as a market restriction and slow down the industry's rate of expansion.

COVID-19 has had a significant influence on healthcare biometrics, which has increased demand for biometric solutions as contactless means of identification and authentication become more common. This increase is a result of the need for biometric-based solutions in other healthcare applications, such as remote patient monitoring. In public areas, biometric temperature and facial recognition screening have become commonplace methods for screening people for COVID-19. Ensuring secure access to healthcare institutions, monitoring the virus's propagation, and protecting patient data all depend on biometric authentication and data consumption. The use of biometrics in the healthcare industry has accelerated dramatically as a result of the epidemic.
