Infant security is a paramount concern for maternity wards, and baby identification is a critical part of keeping newborns safe. Footprints from birth are a recognized and viable way to uniquely identify each baby. CertaScan by Accutech is the leading provider of digital footprint scanning, allowing hospitals to identify infants from the time of birth.
CERTASCAN BABY FOOTPRINT SCANNER
In the same way that a fingerprint scanner helps identify people based on their unique fingerprints, a footprint scanner helps with the identification of infants. A baby’s footprint is unique, and digital scanning of footprints can help identify the child in the event there is an incident, such as a child abduction.
It’s not always easy to identify babies and young children based on their facial features because they change rapidly early on in life. But infant footprint records are an important part of assisting police with the recovery of missing children.
CertaScan by Accutech Healthcare Security Solutions can help provide precise identification of a child through footprint scanning technology. Footprint scanning is not an invasive method of identification, so you don’t have to worry about putting your baby through the process.
