Nothing to touch, carry, lose and fear

Keeping students, faculty and staff safe on campus is the utmost priority.

HAMILTON, N.J. (PRWEB)
June 01, 2020

Over the last 10 weeks, colleges and universities across the United States have been met with the challenge of moving students to a remote learning platform. As it nears to the start of a new school year, many universities and colleges are looking at ways to re-open their campuses in the most secure and safe manner.

Adoption of touchless biometrics is a fast, safe, and convenient way of providing high-assurance access to students, staff, and employees on campuses. Princeton Identity (PI) biometric readers start off securing a single room or building and expand into campus-wide solutions.

Terry Schulenberg, Vice President of Business Development says, “For many students, college is an away game, a real-life obstacle course to run without parental supervision in their transition to adulthood. Parents of prospective students assess campuses and staff seeking a safe yet open environment for their young adults. Such an ideal environment challenges administrators to balance the need for an open campus with parental expectations for comprehensive security. Biometric solutions from PI promote security by offering seamless, touchless, high-assurance identity management starting in physical access control. PI solutions extend further to applications that provide logical access into campus applications.”

PI provides a path to high-assurance identity management starting with seamless access control that campuses can deploy quickly. Initially, students and staff use touchless biometric readers to conveniently enter buildings, dormitories, and athletic facilities. In parallel, as students get used to and adopt biometrics, these access control systems naturally transition to logical access where students biometrically glance for library or cafeteria transactions.

Sean Singer, VP of Engineering says , “PI’s biometric readers behave like a card reader so interfacing to your existing access control system is painless. Existing wiring from a card-reader can be re-used for single or dual-factor. Furthermore, the backend software integrates with existing access control systems. Since most schools have names and credentials in place, the new readers can be operational in less than a day. Also, as new students or staff are added to the access control system, those names are synchronized into the system automatically; complete the process with a simple enrollment, and touchless access is up and running. “

Cafeterias

Students are familiar with a ‘card-swipe’ for food services on campus, but in post-pandemic planning, touchless applications offer safer alternatives. Networked to the payment system, the iris biometric readers perform the same card-swipe function, but with a simple glance by the student. Touchless systems provide a hygienic approach for the new-normal. Additionally, iris biometrics still work with personal protective equipment offering touchless identity management while avoiding the need to remove gloves and masks or fumble with identification.

Athletics

Athletics are an integral part of the college experience for many incoming students, whether casually or as intercollegiate athletes. To streamline access to athletics facilities, PI systems replace ID checks, codes, and cards with a touchless, token-less biometric glance. PI recommends starting with biometric readers on team facilities and recreation centers where athletes do not have to carry identification for high assurance access, then expanding to all athletic facilities such as gymnasia and pools. PI’s high throughput biometric readers process hundreds of entries per hour.

Laboratories

Science, engineering, medical and, datacenter buildings contain valuable, restricted, sometimes controversial, and potentially dangerous samples, materials, and equipment. Users of PI systems benefit from touchless identity management using biometrics while avoiding the need to remove gloves or masks or fumble with identification. PI biometric systems ease access to laboratories and materials supplies with a simple glance toward doors and cabinets, replacing traditional cards and codes. Enterprise users can transition card readers on exterior doors and elevators to biometric readers to ensure security throughout the common spaces of an entire building or campus.

Summary

Princeton Identity’s patented biometric technology offers the most secure and convenient solutions for organizations to streamline security, increase throughput, and control costs. Our solutions are ideal for authentication in markets such as campuses including universities and large enterprises. The company’s multimodal biometric solutions employ distinctive iris and facial recognition technologies designed for accuracy and convenience (http://www.princetonidentity.com).

“We have been using Cardiac Signals for some time and it has enabled our practice to handle the volume of transmissions for our implant patients, prioritize and triage care while capturing all the billing automatically. Its efficiency has allowed us to improve patient care” said Dr. Augustin Delago

ALBANY, N.Y. (PRWEB)
June 01, 2020

Lille Group, Inc. announced today immediate availability of Cardiac Signals, a cloud-based software platform enabling cardiology practices and hospitals to efficiently manage cardiac patients remotely, especially critical during the current COVID-19 crisis. Cardiac Signals is built on a highly secured federally certified platform and can be integrated into any Electronic Health Record (EHR) system or used in a stand-alone mode with any major internet browser such as Google Chrome. Cardiac Signals enables cardiologists and hospitals to manage high volumes of cardiac implant patients remotely easily and efficiently, improving patient care while automatically capturing all billable events.

“Lille Group has spent the last year developing an easy to use, secured platform that is able to clinically manage tens of thousands of mission critical cardiac device patients and automate the billing component for cardiology practices. We are providing a less expensive solution to customers that are struggling with server-based technology both from a financial and access standpoint. Clinicians could not routinely work from any place securely and now they can 24/7” said Jordan Rosen, CEO at Lille Group, Inc.

Thousands of patients have been managed through Cardiac Signals at Capital Cardiology Associates, a large cardiology practice in Albany, NY. “We have been using Cardiac Signals for some time and it has enabled our practice to handle the volume of transmissions for our implant patients, prioritize and triage care while capturing all the billing automatically. Its efficiency has allowed us to improve patient care” said Dr. Augustin Delago FACC, FSCAI the CEO of Capital Cardiology Associates, Director of Cardiac Catheterization Lab and Interventional Cardiology at Albany Medical Center.

Due to COVID 19 pandemic, onsite “Pacer” or “Device Clinics” have not been able to operate, delaying patient care. Cardiac implant device patients, especially heart failure patients still need to be managed and monitored closely. Cardiac Signals enables this to happen remotely with many features for Cardiologists and Nurses to provide timely patient care. In addition, these patients are at high risk of serious complications if they were to acquire severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).                                    

Cardiac Signals delivers the remote management capability critical to providing quality management and intervention for these patients while avoiding a trip to the clinic or hospital.

Cardiac Signals Availability

Lille Group, Inc. is committed to deliver new cloud-based technology allowing easy access and implementation while giving clinicians the secure ability to work remotely from any desktop or tablet. Cardiac Signals is available for acquisition to qualified cardiology practices and hospitals. Visit http://www.lillegroup.com or through its channel distribution for more information.
