Changes in The Field of Biometrics Services

Biometric services got implemented almost a decade back when they were frequently looked upon the last word in security and surveillance technology. However, it did not take much time for the vicious hackers and third party intruders to create sophisticated attack techniques that corrupted biometrics scanners. In this process, biometric companies and device vendors learned multiple ways to improve scanners and come up with stronger algorithms that help in better security products.

Medically biometrics is the science of studying an individual’s physical and physiological traits such as eye color, fingerprints, typing speed, walking style and much more. Sometime back Amit Klein, CTO and Chief Researcher for browser security vendor Trusteer, opined that “A few years ago, many people viewed biometrics as a silver bullet for security. So far, the technology is not living up to that expectation. Biometrics is not good enough yet. It needs the right balance between rejecting legitimate users and allowing unauthorized ones to log on.”

Today eminent clinical research organizations (CRO’s) in India have been proactively working towards developing biometric services. These CRO’s offers a comprehensive range of data management services in Phase I-IV clinical trials and bioequivalence. Their objective is to convert raw data into precise and reliable trial results in compliance with regulatory policies. Most CRO’s have their own Biometrics team that concentrates to speed up the regulatory submissions and reduce the timeless with their quality services and revolutionary thinking. The services that they include in Biometrics department after research and development includes the following:

Database Programming

* CRF Design (paper & electronic)

* CRF Annotation

* Database Programming

* Validation Checks

* Metadata Repository Management

Data Management

* Data Acquisition

* Data Reconciliation

* Discrepancy Management

* Medical Coding (MeDRA & WHODD)

* Database Lock

* Data Extraction for Reporting

Pharmacokinetic & Pharmacodynamic Studies

* Sampling Point Estimation

* Technical Document Review

* PK/PD Query Resolution

* PK/PD Subject Matter Expert

* Pharmacokinetic support across study engagement

PK/PD Reporting

* SDMS Data Extraction

* PK Data Analysis

* PK Summary Reporting

Biostatistics

* Randomization

* Sample size estimation

* Trial Design Inputs

* Statistical Analysis Plan

* Statistical Analysis

* Biostatistics Subject Matter Expert

Statistical Reporting

* TLF Programming

* CDISC Data Mapping (SDTM & ADaM)

* Clinical Data Repository

* Pooled Data Analysis & Reporting

* Safety (ADR) Reporting

* Patient Profiles & Data Cleaning Reporting

Eminent researchers are of opinion that one of the best ways that can enhance the biometric security technology is delve deep into the physiological traits and recognize a user’s stress level. In an ideal case, a vendor must set up a system in which it is highly impossible for the intruders to force users to cooperate or change the biometric data for gaining access.
